I'm an evolutionary anthropology major with a concentration in anatomy and paleoanthropology. I'm very interested in how the human body works, and want to pursue a career as a pediatrician. On campus, I'm involved in the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students and help organize medicine related events like panels and service projects. I conduct research at the Memory for Movement lab looking at how dancers perceive, learn, and remember movements. In addition, I volunteer at the Duke Benefits Enrollment Center where I conduct weekly check-in calls to seniors and provide them with resources. Some of my hobbies include dancing and event planning. As a result, I'm a part of Duke University Union's LDOC committee and Nakisai African Dance Ensemble.
