For the 2018-2019 school year, I have decided to continue taking an Undergraduate Research course as an elective. In this particular course, I have gotten the opportunity to teach basic laboratory methods, protocols and experiments to a first time research student majoring in Biology. I also hold membership in Beta Kappa Chi Honor Society, Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society and The National Institute of Science on the campus of Jarvis Christian College.

I am mostly involved in community service projects with the organizations I hold membership within. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, Pre-Alumni, Student Ministry Association, Wellness Project, and Circle K International are all organizations that exist to service to community. I am also a collegiate bowler for Jarvis Christian College, and a part of UTHealth Pre-Health Academy.
