Season 2, Episode 16; The Youth of the Life Sciences

Sabria Lataillade, 17, is a STEM major currently pursuing her Associate’s Degree in Bioscience Technology at Gwinnett Technical College! Born in Central Islip, New York, Sabria moved with her family to Marietta, Georgia when she was only four and is now based in the Atlanta area. Sabria’s STEM interests grew when she attended MCAA for her 4th and 5th grade of elementary school. When the public school system became overly distracting and a negative environment for Sabria, her mother pulled her out and returned her to homeschooling. At age 11, Sabria’s mother signed her up for an online homeschool program called Georgia Virtual School (GaVS), where she began taking high school level courses. Once she excelled in classes for the first tryout semester, Sabria continued attending this program until spring of 2016. That very fall, she began college as a MOWR student at Gwinnett Tech. In addition to attending her undergraduate program, Sabria has been shadowing doctors at the American Clinics for Preventive Medicine (ACPM) since October of last year, gaining immense insight and hands-on experience of doctors’ day-to-day responsibilities.

Sabria has also been an avid staff member of Black-founded agriculture initiative, B.A.S.E. Expo, since December 2013. These opportunities are truly significant to her, being that she loves to help others by lending her support, healing, and creating smiles. Sabria’s ultimate goal is to help end human suffering, promote longevity, and inspire peace by actively pursuing and applying bio-scientific and agricultural technologies. In the near future, Ms. Lataillade seeks to continue her undergraduate program at Georgia State University and begin her studies of Food & Nutritional Sciences at Tuskegee University.
