Biography

Sophie Lee is a biology major, chemistry and philosophy double-minor from Marietta, Georgia. She is the proud child of Jamaican immigrants living by the saying, “Mi come yah fi drink milk, mi nuh come yah fi count cow.” In other words: "keep focused and don't waste time". She plans to pursue an MD-PhD in genetics with a focus on diagnosis and the treatment of hereditary diseases in the Black community. She chose to attend Howard because she knew the school and its community would push and prepare her to be the best version of herself in whatever she chose to pursue.
