I was born in Lagos, Nigeria, but moved to the United States at the age of four.  I am a sophomore at UMD and a psychology major on the pre-med track.  From the time I was a child, schooling in America, I knew I wanted to study science and become a doctor.  It was not until college that I discovered the public health sector of medicine.  I believe that one of the most important aspects of public health is education, especially education at a young age.  I did this program because I would like to participate in a team working to educating children especially in underrepresented areas because the children that we teach now are the future decision-makers of America.
