Summary

A graduate of Dillard University with a degree in Health Science and a minor in Public Health, I have balanced the demands of being a student-athlete with a strong commitment to academic excellence and community service. Aspiring to become a Physician Assistant, I am focused on improving healthcare access for lower-income communities facing financial barriers. My experience in patient care and volunteering has given me valuable insight into these challenges, and I am eager to pursue opportunities that will enable me to contribute to equitable healthcare solutions.
