#PeopleofJSU: “My favorite childhood movie is ‘Tinker Bell’. She’s also my inspiration for going into the engineering field. Her confidence and independence shaped my understanding of what it means to be a girl boss. As a tinker fairy, she was always inventing and fixing broken gadgets. 

Growing up, I did a lot of building too, especially with my dad. He would work on cars and teach  me how to fix certain parts. 

I chose to study Industrial Technology because I realized that engineering is the foundation for everything. From extensive research to building weather and temperature humidity systems, my major has shown me the many different ways I can help people.
 
Being passionate about app development, coding, and programming has led me to new ideas to help the younger generation. Ultimately, I want to build a toy that helps kids with learning disabilities. It would be a tool to enrich learning with gentle reminders and fidget tools for brain stimulation. 

As a kid growing up with ADHD, I remember being in pre-school, struggling to focus or sit still. Now, I thoroughly enjoy developing new resources for other learners that need extra support. I recently published a book to help students like me navigate college.

The most rewarding part is knowing that I am creating things that are helpful to so many people and reminding them that they are not alone.

I’m building a legacy here that I am proud of and I thank Jackson State so much for the impact it’s leaving on me.”

- Rayvn, junior industrial technology major from Memphis
