Leading the Future:
"I envision myself showing the next generation that becoming a STEM professional is
possible and worthwhile. Not only showing that STEM professionals have intelligence
but also a true compassion for the world. I see myself redefining what STEM looks
like and means. I will be creating a space that is for everyone, where the only true
requirements are curiosity, passion, and the want to make the world and everything
it encompasses better."
Why did you become a Simons STEM Scholar?:
"I chose to become a Simons STEM Scholar because the staff really invest in your success.
They ask you your goals, and do everything in their power to get you into the best
position to achieve them. It is an amazing feeling to be surrounded by a group of
people who are strongly rooting for you every step of the way, and that is exactly
what this program provides."
What would you say to someone who is applying?:
"Be authentic in your application. Everyone has had so many unique experiences in
their life, and this program truly values your individuality. So, I would tell someone
to be as authentic and real as possible."
