Established in 1902, it aims to support students who show promise for leadership and a commitment to making a positive impact on the world. The selection criteria emphasize four main traits: academic excellence, energy to use one’s talents fully, truth, courage, and concern for others, and leadership ability that is rooted in a vision to help society."

  • Participated in the Yale Africa Innovation Symposium on March 1-2, 2024

    • This was an enriching and insightful experience where I attended in "Innovation Labs" ​where we were able to collaborate and learn from experts from diverse fields such as Financial Services, Healthcare, and Technology. 

    • The event emphasised the importance of identifying the root causes of issues that currently affect African countries and crafting innovative solutions and strategies that can be implemented for the sustainability, development and empowerment of African communities. ​

  • Participated in the Urban Microclimate Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) Team where we assessed how factors such as climate change and  temperature changes affected our local district in Brooklyn. For 2023, I investigated how these factors affected public health. This project included: 

    • 3 milestone presentations. ​

    • Documentation of progress and research 

    • Technical skill development as I learned how to use QGIS.
