I grew up in Grenada, an island in the Caribbean, before deciding to continue my education in the United States. I graduated from Old Dominion University with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry in May 2015. During my time at ODU, I was involved with the Caribbean Student Association, where I served as President. I was also a player on the ODU Club Lacrosse Team. Science has always been my passion and it provides so many different career pathways. At the time, I knew the healthcare sector was my area of interest. I wanted to impact the lives of others so I thought the Biochemistry degree would provide me with the best knowledge base, as well as a chance to explore two major areas of science, wrapped into one. Additionally, the department offered students a great deal of support throughout their studies. My advisor was always accessible, as well as the department chair. Aside from scholastic duties, the department provided speakers, fun events and career advice. I had a solid foundation at Old Dominion University, especially, with my core biochemistry classes, I remember learning the properties of the various amino acids there, and then applying the same knowledge during my first-year classes in pharmacy school. The senior seminar prepared me to break down and understand scientific studies and then transfer that knowledge to applicable projects as needed. The advanced laboratory courses gave me the skills to excel during many of the compounding classes and clinical rotations throughout pharmacy school.

Following my graduation from ODU, I enrolled in pharmacy school at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee. At ETSU, I have been involved with the Student National Pharmaceutical Association, where I have also served as President of the chapter. I have helped to raise awareness of several health conditions in the community through a series of health fairs, news channel interviews, and Naloxone reversal education sessions. I am in the dual-degree program at ETSU and have earned a Masters of Business Administration. Following my graduation from pharmacy school in May, I will be completing a post-doctoral fellowship.
