I am proud to be a part of the McNair Scholars Program, work with students on their research journey, and help them explore opportunities for graduate studies. Education is one of my greatest passions, and working with the first generation of underrepresented populations is an added bonus. As a first-generation college student myself, I aim to use my experiences and knowledge to ensure that every student I encounter knows that they have the opportunity to experience a life-changing journey through higher education and that they are in control of their lives. I am always available to make time for students, and I take great pleasure in seeing them succeed in their projects and endeavors.
