Summary

I am a purpose driven biology major and health professions minor currently in the process of transferring to Howard University where I plan to continue my academic and professional growth toward a career in dentistry. Inspired by my Jamaican heritage, creative spirit, and love for detail oriented work, I’ve developed a deep rooted passion for oral health and patient care.


As a future dentist with a vision to specialize in orthodontics I’ve built a strong foundation through shadowing experiences in Delaware, leadership roles in pre dental organizations, and hands on clinical work as a Dental intern at Mercer Sydell.


My mission is to represent underrepresented voices in dentistry, especially as a Black woman, while creating opportunities for others to rise with me. I believe in walking by faith, not by sight, and I bring discipline, grace, and passion into every room I enter.
