Our Mission

Having lived my entire life in North Carolina, I am happy to call Durham home. As a current graduate student at NC State, I want to leverage my experience to give back to Durham Public Schools. Participation in undergraduate research in Li-ion batteries and machine learning has provided me with the skills to reach my career goals, and I believe I can help students do the same. 

Born in Chapel Hill and raised in Durham, I have always called North Carolina home. Although I’ve been away for many years (and I’ll be away for many more), I am still passionate about supporting the Durham community and the success of DPS students. In addition to my role as an MD-PhD student, I work to promote STEMM engagement and accessibility in under-resourced communities. I hope the skills I have developed can help Durham students achieve their academic and professional goals.

I am a Durham native and NC State graduate. I am very passionate about helping students reach their future goals and career aspirations. As a former CMA student, I will do my best to give back to the Durham community and help the students that I consider my peers. Over the summer, I volunteered at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, focusing on animal histopathology, an experience that has provided me the insight to support student research involvement.
