I am a first-generation American born to two working Nigerian parents who have worked hard to get me to this point. Following graduation, I plan to attend Boston University. As a future data analyst, I am inspired by Dr. Stanley Ann Dunham’s work to empower rural and minority communities around the world. I will seek to answer questions relating to educational inequity, research how to dispel the root causes of the underfunding within the national education systems, and advocate for an increased awareness of everyday injustices.
