Scholar Biography:
I am a junior Math Education major from South Bend, Indiana. I am the youngest of three children and I come from a family of educators. Though I serve as a member of the McNair Program, I am also a Sycamore Scholar and a Noyce Scholar for math and science education majors. I enjoy working within the Indiana State community and I do so in various organizations such as: the Vice President of NAACP, Deputy President
Pro-Tempore in the Student Government Association Senate, the Director of Programs in Sankofa, Union Board, and the Ebony Majestic Choir. Education is a continuous process and I want to do all that I can to give others knowledge. I know that being involved with the McNair Program with gives me that edge I need to enter graduate school.
