Symphonee Montgomery was a summer scholar at John Hopkins University and studied The Hospital and the Evolution of Medicine. She is now a first year student at Grand Valley State University. Her major is Biomedical Sciences and is am pursuing a minor in Spanish. Her passions lie in the medical field and in the future she hopes to be either a Gynecological Surgeon or a Trauma Surgeon in developing countries both in West African and Latin America. She developed these goals as a Summer Scholar and believes that she would not have such clarity concerning her future had she not been a Joyce Ivy Scholar. She finds involvement at the collegiate level extremely important for the overall success of a student and therefore has pursued many opportunities to be involved on her campus outside of my classes. Because of the Joyce Ivy Foundation, she is now an ambassador of for the Women’s Center and currently work as a Student Advisor at the Barbara H. Padnos International Center where she advises students in their study abroad endeavors, all due to the leadership qualities built by the Joyce Ivy Foundation. She’s also a Gates Millennium Scholar and Joyce Ivy Alumni and has found great honor in being a Gates Millennium ambassador and Joyce Ivy Fellow. She looks forward to the role that she will play in many young women’s lives as she encourages them to seek global education and leadership in their everyday lives to create a better atmosphere for learning for the upcoming generations of both young women and minorities.
