I am a sophomore at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida. I am currently a Health and Exercise Science major with a minor in Psychology striving for a Bachelor's degree. After completing my bachelor’s, I aspire to go to Physician Assistant school to obtain my master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS). I want to be a PA because I want to make an impact on as many lives as possible, and I enjoy the mystery of finding out the causes of different diseases and public health issues. Aside from school I enjoy reading, writing, researching, doing experiments and creating all different types of art. With my hobbies of researching and conducting experiments, I have been offered an amazing outlet here at Bethune-Cookman to be able to research about numerous aquatic animals while also being educated further on how each affects our ecological system. I love it at Bethune-Cookman because I am not too far from my family, and I have a major support system that is like a home away from home.

I am a junior majoring in Computer Science hailing from Jacksonville, Florida. I have had an interest in technology since I was young, and I love to learn new things. Since technology is always changing, there’s something new to learn every day. I enjoy different activities such as learning new languages, building puzzles, drawing, spinning flag, and traveling. Being a part of this internship, I have been challenged by not only the work I am doing, but by myself and my instructor to hone my skills to then apply it to this profession. I am extremely excited to see where this takes me in my career.

I am a sophomore at Bethune Cookman University located in Daytona Beach FL. I am majoring in biology and have lived in West Palm Beach Florida since I was born. I love living in Florida because I get to spend time with family and friends and enjoy what Florida has to offer. My hobbies are listening and playing music, going to church, and spending time with family/friends. The main reason I’m majoring is biology in because of my interests in pediatrics. Ever since I was 6, I’ve wanted to be a pediatrician and I’m extremely passionate about it. After I graduate, I plan to head straight to medical school to pursue my dreams in pediatrics. My long-term goal is to one day open and establish my own clinic helping every child possible within my community. Over the past years I’ve shadowed my doctor and have done plenty of research regarding the pediatric population. I am eternally grateful to be receiving an education at BCU and to be part of the S-STEM program.
