Marissa plans to attend Florida Institute of Technology in the fall and major in biomedical engineering but her academic success has manifested many opportunities over the years. As a high school freshman, she placed 2nd in the Regional Science Fair and was awarded $40,000 from Florida Institute of Technology.

During her senior year, she placed 1st in the Biomedical and Health division and runner up for Best of Show at the Regional Science Fair.

As a busy student, Marissa finds her extracurricular balance by participating in softball and National Honor Society in addition to her science research.

Being a member of Club Esteem (CE) for the last six years has helped keep Marissa grounded and connected to a loving and supportive community. The Club Esteem-sponsored college field trips, tutoring, and community service enriched Marissa's development as an exemplary student and model citizen.

The young scientist expressed her gratitude for the dedication of CE's staff and network of volunteers and reflects that the most enjoyable experience of being a member is meeting so many diverse and positive people.

Take a bow, Ms. Jordan. The Club Esteem family is so excited for your future!
