Cheyenne grew up in Sterling, VA and received a BS in Biology from the College of William and Mary. As the first in her family to obtain a college degree, she has been inspired to participate in many diversity and inclusion efforts including co-leading Penn LIFT US UP (Low Income and First Time Undergraduate Students at the University of Pennsylvania), the first recognized FGLI affinity group at Penn Med.  She also engages with amazing first-generation students throughout Philadelphia public schools as a high-school tutor and health educator.  Professionally, she is pursuing a career in Urology and hopes to utilize her Certificates in Medical Education and Academic Surgery to address the needs of underrepresented learners throughout their medical careers. Cheyenne believes that The UpLIFT Project addresses the critical need for open-access and reliable guidance on pursuing a career in medicine, and hopes that ultimately this project fosters the success of students from first-gen backgrounds like hers.
