MY PERSONAL INTERESTS
I am originally from Burkina-Faso (West Africa), and English is my 5th language. I came to the United States of America in 2012 to further my education. I am the first in my family ever to hold both an undergraduate and graduate degrees. Additionally, I am a former alumna of Essex County College (A.S in Biology/Pre-Med), Rutgers University Newark (B.A in Biology, Chemistry minor), and Montclair State University (M.S in Biology). I had the opportunity to work at Rutgers Newark Learning Center as a Math tutor (all levels up to Calculus 2), at Montclair State University as a Graduate Assistant (GA) teaching undergraduate biology labs, and at Essex County College as the GS-LSAMP/S-STEM Coordinator. Furthermore, I joined the Graduate Students in K-12 Educative Program and Rutgers Science Explorer as a Rutgers Graduate Associate, and the New York Academic of Sciences as a Scientist Mentor for K-12 programs. I was a mentor for Social Justice and Community-Building Project with Rutgers Douglass Residential College Students for the 2022-2023 academic year, and now I am still a Mentor for NALA STEM.
As a science “lover", I am more than happy to help any students towards their academic careers and goals: Time management to effectively pass your classes as an A student, choosing the right major, applying to graduate schools and summer opportunities for minority students, mentoring, writing a resume/CV/Cover Letter and a Personal Statement, requesting a letter of recommendation, balancing life and school, applying for scholarships and more. I look forward to connecting with ALL students, especially WOMEN IN SCIENCE, regardless of their ages, grades, race, religion, and cultures.
Hobbies: Babysitting children, spending time with seniors, playing basketball, and mentoring students!
