About

I'm a rising junior with the following major of Biology. I am also studying minors of math and chemistry at Johnson C Smith University. I chose my career path as a child. My mother had been diagnosed with lung and brain cancer at the age of 14. In addition, I was the youngest child of five siblings. I had to take care my mom at a young age because my siblings were so much older and living with their families. So, my career path is going very well. I would love to further my career in oncology. Cancer is very significant and hopefully one day I can save millions of lives.
