Hello, my name is Jah’Maya Burton, and I am a Biology major with a Pre-Professional concentration at Norfolk State University. I am deeply committed to academic excellence and aspire to make a meaningful impact within my community. As a freshman, I am actively exploring opportunities to engage in campus organizations that foster leadership development, personal growth, and student involvement.

Receiving the Diane E. Ames Scholarship has strengthened my commitment to academic excellence and community service. I am sincerely grateful for this support, which empowers me to continue pursuing my long-term educational and professional goals.
