I’m proud to be a mentor to several female students majoring in mathematics both in the USA and in Africa.

I am also proud to be the first Black female with a doctoral degree in mathematics from my graduate institution and to be awarded tenure from the Eberly College of Science at Penn State University.

My advice to young scholars is to pursue their dreams. Don’t let anyone stop you from pursuing your passion. If you love mathematics, go for it.
