Education

Following my bachelors degree in Health Sciences, I aim to continue my schooling to eventually earn a PhD in biomedical science applications

While I still have a long way to go in preparation for this, I would love to highlight my how far I've already come!

Academic History

AICE Diploma

During my time at Wellington Community High School, I took extended courses under the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education Program - graduating with my AICE diploma in addition to my high school curriculum, counting towards course credit on the university level. 

When I wasn't focused on homework, I enjoyed being part of the WHS Girls Varsity Tennis Team - I was awarded "Player of the Year" as a freshman, and continued to represent my school in matches held throughout district brackets. Additionally, I loved being a helping hand in our schools' theatre department as voluntary stage crew - it was through these accumulated service hours that I was able to earn 100% tuition coverage under the Florida Academic Scholars Award through Bright Futures.

Associates in Arts

In addition to receiving my AICE diploma at Wellington High School, I began dual enrollment during my junior year, and was able to fulfil almost all of my GEP requirement courses by the time I was a high school graduate. On top of already receiving assistance with Bright Futures, completing these courses allowed me to advance into my health science-based curriculum a lot faster once arriving at UCF.

B.S. of Health Sciences, Pre-Clinical

Expected to graduate this upcoming Fall '25 semester, it would be an understatement to say my time at UCF was anything less of well spent. During my time as a knight pursuing my undergraduate degree in Health Sciences, I'm proud to have accomplished presentation in research, leadership in numerous club affairs on campus, and even positions in subjects that interest me the most like chemistry, physics, and women's health. Being involved in organizations such as UCF's Her Campus and American Medical Student Association, I've also been able to build ties relating to medical communities, and women visibility within this field.

​When reflecting on my upper-level course completion, it makes me elated to say that I'm starting to apply what I learn in the classroom as I advance further in medical revolving occupations. Subjects like Pathophysiology, Neurobiology, and Medical Terminology have confidently prepared me for the intensities of medical education.

Balancing full-time education, extracurriculars, work and volunteering definitely hasn't been the easiest to navigate, but I absolutely thrive in the bustling of hard work, and I know that I wouldn't want to be doing anything else!


I can't wait to see what else is to come.
