About Me

I am currently in the 4th year of the PhD portion of my MD/PhD at Wright State Boonshoft School of Medicine in Dayton, Ohio. I currently study Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) using voltage and current clamp electrophysiology techniques. Before starting the PhD portion of my degree, I completed the first two years of medical school and passed the USMLE Step 1 (238) board examination. These two years included courses such as the following: Anatomy, Principles of Disease, Molecular Basis of Medicine, Cells & Tissues Organ Systems, Health Care in Developing Countries, Hematology, Medical Neuroscience, Clinical Decision Making, and Musculoskeletal and Integument. I have taken the following courses during my graduate education: Immunology, Neuroscience & Physiology, Research Ethics, and Neuron to Behavior Health and Disease. I attended Spelman College for my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I was a psychology/pre-medicine major while at Spelman. With that being said, I had to take all of the science requirements of that of a biology major, along with a couple of electives, such as Anatomy and Physiology and Biochemistry. In addition, I completed math up to the level of Calculus 2. I also took Physics: Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism. Overall, I graduated Spelman with a cumulative GPA of 3.88 and a science GPA of about 3.85. I graduated in the top ten percent of my class, with the Latin honors of Suma Cum Laude, and departmental honors.
