I am a first-generation college student, with parents from Belize and Trinidad and Tobago. I am currently attending West Los Angeles College and plan to transfer to UCLA to complete my degree in Biology. My ultimate goal is to become a dentist, where I can combine my passion for science with helping others through healthcare. Beyond academics, I value spending quality time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and traveling to experience new places and cultures.
