My Project

Students within our high school dream of bigger and brighter opportunities. Unfortunately, this is diminished by a lack of supplies or basic materials needed to successfully instruct our courses. Anatomy and physiology is a cornerstone for any future healthcare career. Simple things like a microscope or histology slides aren't readily available currently. With your help, our students will be ignited to pursue a selfless career, making their community better.

Our students yearn for direction and opportunity.

Many of their dreams are dashed before they fully form because they must read about a concept rather than experience it. I would like you to imagine that moment in your formative years when a lab, a project, or a concept came to life for you. I am willing to bet it wasn't from the pages of a textbook. Rather, that first time you see a slide with cells dividing or feel what science actually is, you got hooked on the feeling of discovery and learning.

With your help and generosity, I hope to be a small part of inspiring the next generations of healthcare workers. Together, we can seize the minds and hearts of a generation starving for discovery and to make an indelible mark upon our community and world.
