While here at Fisk, I have been blessed with the opportunity of not only being able to nourish my love for science, but I have also been able to grow spiritually through our Chapel on campus. After graduating from Fisk, I will be continuing my education and plan to attend Nursing School in my hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee.
