 QUALIFICATIONS

I am Enthusiastic, Creative, Detail Oriented, Knowledgeable and Driven. Excellence rather than average is my standard. 

My mission...  If you want to be successful, be excellent. IF you want the best that the world has to offer, offer the world your best. Always give 100% in every circumstance so that you live without regret. Capitalize on the gifts you were given.  Find your passion, love your life and live your dream.

I am currently on the advisory board for Worlds of Connections, an NIH-funded project which spreads knowledge and excitement about network science among members of underrepresented minority communities to support diversity in bio-behavioral and biomedical careers.
