African American College Board Scholar

    As a female of color, racial and gender adversity have been prominent in my academic journey to become a doctor. By dedicating my time to my studies, extracurriculars, and advancements in my personal qualifications, I have overcome the obstacles that were meant to hold me back and set me apart from my peers. The National College Board recognized my efforts in the classroom as an African American woman, and awarded my progress and intellectual achievements as a minority.
