Wins President

Shenika Christopher is the President of CCNY Women in Science. She is currently a master’s student in the biology program at the City College of New York. Prior to her master’s program, Shenika received her Bachelor of Science degree in psychology at Fordham University. In 2018, she worked closely with medical professionals and physicians to provide patients with the best services in the radiology department at Weill Cornell. In her spare time, Shenika enjoys giving back to the community by joining organizations that align with reducing gaps in STEM and breaking barriers that discourage students from joining the sciences. To help reduce the gap, she volunteers her time as the biology leader in the Division of Science Council at CCNY, an organization that aims to enrich the college student experience through accessibility, collaboration, connection, and mentoring. To break down barriers, Shenika works as a teacher assistant for undergraduate biology courses in which she simplifies complex concepts for her students and provide an open learning environment.
