“Women and minorities have long been underrepresented in STEM areas. However, more and more are becoming trailblazers in their fields, overcoming cultural and/or societal barriers and opening up new possibilities for women and minorities everywhere. It isn’t easy to get into a field dominated by people who are different from you, but setting goals, getting priorities in order and working hard will make anything possible.
My mission is to encourage all students to follow their passion, whatever that may be. Don’t be afraid to try. It will take hard work and sacrifice, but it will be worth it! ”

“As an African American male, I know firsthand the struggles young African American male have trying to navigate higher education. I want to be an advocate, a resource and a mentor to these students. I want to personally help these students through completion of college. This is needed because statistics show that African American males everywhere are struggling to complete their degree and excel in higher education. Let’s work together to prove that these statistics don't know anything about you.”
“Women and minorities have been treated in the USA as second-class citizens. The effects of this treatment have caused a deficit in positions of leadership in many different industries. This is why I am an advocate of women and minorities in STEM majors. My goal is to encourage these demographics to pursue their dream in STEM fields to help build leaders for a better America.”
