I hope to earn my PhD in physics and give back to young Black physicists who are hoping to pursue physics as a career just like me.

My story
I chose to study astrophysics because I was interested in both astronomy and physics. I was amazed that we are able to apply so many laws of physics that are applicable here on Earth to space and wanted to learn more. The TEAM-UP Scholarship will provide me with the opportunity to continue to study what I’m interested in pursuing as a career. I hope to earn my PhD in physics and give back to young Black physicists who are hoping to pursue physics as a career just like me. The TEAM-UP scholarship gets me one step closer to accomplishing this goal and serving as both representation and a helping hand for young Black physicists.
