About

I'm a persevering student pursuing a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. Being a single mother, working a full-time job and attending school part-time is my whole life now. But taking my life a step further to join co-op programs, internships and organizations will truly manifest my passion in learning. My dream is to achieve my goal as a first-gen student and share my story with others. Everyone deserves a chance in life, and I am blessed to have come this far. And it's not over yet.
