I am a sophomore from Dallas, TX majoring in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/academics\/cas\/programs\/neuroscience\/\">neuroscience<\/a>, on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/admissions\/why-bu\/academics\/majors\/pre-medicine\/\">pre-med<\/a> track, with a minor in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/academics\/cas\/programs\/romance-studies\/minor-spanish\/\">Spanish<\/a> in the College of Arts &amp; Sciences. I\u2019m also a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questbridge.org\/\">QuestBridge Scholar<\/a> and a part of the Kilachand Honors College! During my time at Kilachand, I am able to take classes, unrelated to my major, that diversify my education and take a hands-on approach to my learning.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">My involvement on campus includes being an ambassador for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bu.nsbwm\/\">National Society of Black Women in Medicine<\/a> (NSBWM), an underclassmen representative for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bu_aso\/?hl=en\">African Student Organization<\/a> (ASO), and a member of the social media committee for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/umoja.bu\/?hl=en\">Umoja<\/a>, our Black Student Union. I love collaborating with other students to celebrate culture, build community, and amplify student voices!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When I\u2019m not nose-deep in my books or attending meetings\/ events for organizations, I like to get off campus and explore Boston! I love to share my experience of Boston and my daily life in college through my YouTube channel (just search up my first &amp; last name and don\u2019t forget to subscribe)! Sharing my journey as a student has been so much fun and a rewarding way to connect with others.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">That\u2019s all for me!
