About
I am a sophomore at the New York University Tandon School of Engineering studying chemical and bimolecular engineering. I am a passionate student who graduated from a high school on the small island of Jamaica. My greatest passion, which underlines all my achievements, is fulfilling my potential for growth and development. I live by the motto, "Age Quod Agis," which means, "Anything I do, I do it to the best of my ability.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
Although I am currently studying chemical engineering which leads to jobs as process engineer or materials engineer, I ultimately want to own a business or perhaps an engineering firm.
- Graduate school interests
I am interested in doing my master's program at New York University but I am also keeping an open-mind to other universities. As the time draws nearer to graduation I believe I will have a clearer picture of what my graduate school education will look like.
