Program Info
I came from Guyana to study chemistry at Adelphi. When I entered, I was mentored by Dr. Justyna Widera. We worked together a lot and she noticed I had potential in lab. She helped me secure a summer study abroad at the University of Warsaw and I had the opportunity to present at a conference in Dubai. As a result of those experiences, I was accepted into the PhD program at UCLA.
