• Future plans: I am hoping to work in public health, either in the field of epidemiology or global health research

I am passionate about pursuing a degree in either Biology and or education with the hopes of going to dental school to become a general dentist or orthodontist.

A few of my hobbies include going on walks, braiding hair, and crocheting.
