Growing up, Dr. Joselyn Parker '07 dreamed of being a medical doctor. While at Westminster, she began to uncover her true passion through the experiences she received as the first Diversity Chair for WC's Student Government Association. Joselyn's involvement with the Black Student Union and other campus organizations also helped guide her path from studying biology to pursuing a career focused on mentoring and empowering youth, leading her to pursue a variation of her dream to become a doctor.
