Immokalee,FL
Summary
I am current student at the University of Miami studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and I aspire to go to graduate school in order to obtain a PhD in Pharmaceutical Chemistry. However, I remain true to my faith by maintaining my role as youth pastor at my hometown church, where I guide and teach biblical concepts to the youth every Sunday for no pay. I had received numerous awards and honors during my time in high school, such as The Gates Scholarship. I continue to do so in college, having been invited and accepted to both the NSLS and the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society.
