About
I am a black female with an interest in United States politics and healthcare. I will be double majoring in both Biology and Health and Societies at the University of Pennsylvania to delve into the intersection between medicine and public policy.
Additionally, I danced on my high school Poms team and in outside groups in DC, and I hope to continue this in college. I have played the flute since 4th grade in various ensembles and will continue at Penn.
I participate in frequent volunteer work and projects at local hospitals and through Girl Scouts. I am very excited to see where this service takes me in college!
