Stephanie Guerra Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry Why did you choose KDChi? I chose KDChi because I wanted to be surrounded by strong independent women who will not only empower me to do better but to also empower the community around me. Future Plans & Goals I plan to strengthen my academia by applying to a specialized masters program in medical sciences and eventually applying to Medical school. Stephanie's Personal Narrative The pressure on first generation children to prove that you are indeed proof of your parents sacrifice is something that many will not understand. You will fail trying to adjust to something that statistically was “not in your nature” but being strong enough to continue. Throughout the hardships I’ve endured academically and mentally, I’m proud that I never gave up.
