Meet our newest intern, Daisy!

Meet our newest ADVISE intern, Lesly Villa.

Lesly is currently a senior pursuing a Bachelor of Science with Grades 7-12 Certification. She joined the program this summer, June 2022!

Lesly wants to become a science teacher to influence students to discover their love for science. Her goal is to teach biology at the high school level.

“Science knows no country because knowledge belongs to humanity and is the torch which illuminates the world.” -Louis Pasteur
This quote reflects Lesly’s feeling about the importance of every student achieving greatness regardless of their background. “I will not only teach my students science but also skills and abilities that will aid them to become active members of our community.” As an educator, Lesly hopes to make a difference in student’s lives as they will be “our future leaders and professionals of tomorrow.”
