Bio
I am enthusiastic about education and creating equal opportunities for people from different socioeconomic backgrounds. My goal is to be a great scientist and use my skills to be a positive role model
My parents have taught me to always be willing to help anyone in need and this has motivated me throughout my life to do as much as I can to help others. I regularly volunteer at my local library and work with my church to do community outreach. I recently joined an NPO called TSTG where we aim to motivate and help learners from underprivileged communities with university applications.

Kayla always makes sure that i am up to date with the topics and not only that,but that im understanding of the topics and always makes sure to send me links of videos of topics that i did not understand, and this has resulted in my percentage in life science being better than it was last term.
