However, I have <br />always been involved in volunteer activities. I earned BS in chemistry from <br />NC A &T and a Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale <br />University. Following this, I worked for 10 years, as a technology consultant <br />at Accenture gathering requirements and testing new applications. <br />I have participated in volunteer activities starting with Girl Scouts and going <br />through to being on the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity in New <br />Haven, CT. I have been a reading tutor and chaired a First Book advisory <br />board. First Book raised money to provide books to children from low <br />income families. <br />
