Have you ever had the feeling that you are destined to be somewhere? Born and raised in Queens for 17 years, a piece of me will always be with NYC, but I know that my dreams lie in London.

Becoming a bioengineer that changes lives through balancing innovation with my own moral principles is the core of my education. I know that moving half-way across the world is not only incredibly complex, but my stubbornness demands that I give London a chance!

Universities such as U. Westminster, or U. Roehampton may allow me to earn semester credits on the path to my bachelor's in engineering. This provides me with the insight I need in order to prepare for my masters degree as well.

I believe that moving away for college is a privilege that can grow a students independence, interpersonal skills, and emotional intelligence. Being apart of another city's community is a blessing that I will be forever grateful for, and I will carry on into my career.

With your help, I can achieve my goal and be able to further my education by studying abroad pursuing my degrees. I'm deeply grateful for each and every donation, truly. Thank you so much!
