I believe the DNP will provide me with the tools to use evidence-based research to close the gaps in health disparities in heart and kidney diseases in Detroit.

I hope discussing my experiences inspires others—particularly young people, BIPOC individuals, and those over 50—to consider earning a graduate degree.

I'm a proud Warrior because Wayne State imparts great leadership and kindles enthusiasm in its students. 

Wayne State University offers a community of students from different backgrounds and cultures, which makes it a small world within a campus.

I am proudest to be a Warrior because there is so much change and new developments that emerge from this university that impact the world.

There is such a vibrant and encouraging community of scholars at Wayne State, and we all want to help the future generation of students thrive and be successful. 

To have a university in an urban city means nothing if there's no tie-in to the community it takes up space in. The dedication to supporting and uplifting communities of color is what makes me proud to be a Warrior. 

Detroit is diverse, upbeat and energetic. Everyone is welcome here, and there is always something new happening.... There is no place in Michigan quite like it.

I am proud to belong to an academic and research university that allows me to learn and expand my skills in every way.
