​

I am a student researcher, science competitor, volunteer, and public health advocate with a strong interest in biology and medicine.

My interest in healthcare grew through hospital volunteering, scientific competitions, laboratory experience, and independent research. I have completed approximately 300 hours of laboratory experience at the Bowie State Natural Sciences Lab, where I learned techniques such as PCR, sterile procedure, laboratory safety, and accurate scientific documentation.

I have also conducted research in lung cancer, malaria treatment, space microbiology, and neuroscience. These experiences taught me that scientific discoveries have the greatest value when they are connected to real community needs.

Outside the laboratory, I volunteer at Shady Grove Hospital, compete in Science Olympiad, Science Bowl, and Quizbowl, and mentor younger students. I also help advocate for lung cancer screening through my school’s lung cancer awareness organization.

My goal is to use research, leadership, and public education to make complex health information easier to understand and more useful to the people who need it.
