About
I am a second semester freshman at Auburn University, from Cincinnati Ohio. Currently, I am majoring in Nutrition Science, with the objective of becoming an OBGYN. My goal is to help as many women as I can, with women’s health and pregnancy issues. I am confident in my ability to achieve this goal because I am caring, passionate, and determined. Another one of my goals is to promote more diversity. I was fortunate enough to live in Canada for three years where I learned the importance of diversity. I became an executive member of the Roots Club and am currently on the freshman committee of the Black Student Union.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I am currently studying to become an OBGYN. In the future, I plan on owning a private practice that is dedicated to helping women through all the aspects of pregnancy including the psychological aspect. Therefore I would like to major in both Nutrition Science and Psychology in order to have the tools to be able to treat my patient's physical and psychological health within my practice.
- Graduate school interests
After I obtain my bachelors degree from Auburn University, I plan to enroll in medical school.
- Outside the classroom
My hobbies include singing, painting, and writing. Growing up my parents always encouraged me to express myself through art. I also enjoy helping others who are less fortunate, and making a difference in others’ lives. I believe that to whom much is given, much is expected. I have been so fortunate in my life and I am eager to spend my life giving back to my community.
