Q: Tell us a bit about yourself.

My name is Marion Ajiboye. I am the eldest of three siblings, and I love to bake, and read. I also love experimenting with makeup and new fashion trends, and I am hardworking, honest, and responsible.

Q: Why do you want to participate in the Shad program/ What are you most looking forward to?

I’m most excited about the Shad program because I get to meet people from everywhere, and I will also build a good foundation of the sciences before furthering my education!

Q: What motivates or sparks your curiosity in STEAM and/or entrepreneurship?   

The human body and the world around us are very interesting to me, as it is always changing and evolving. My life’s journey has just begun, so I hope to unearth many more new things about our world.

Q: How do you envision your future?

While I do love to explore new sciences, I know that ultimately, I see myself in the health system working as, hopefully, a neurosurgeon!
