I have a passion for STEM, Health, and Medicine. I would like to implement educational programs and resources to assist underrepresented groups to help them feel like they belong, amplify their voices, and provide them with resources to navigate to successful careers. Over the past 15+ years, I've been very involved in the community from volunteering at my local children's ER, being a reading buddy for 1st and 2nd graders, and being Vice - President of an AAU boys basketball team for children in underserved communities. I love helping and educating children and would like to use my background in biochemistry, technology & healthcare to create a nonprofit program for young children. I'm an advocate for the underserved and STEM Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion community🌻❤️
