TRE WILLINGHAM

“As a child, I liked to watch space documentaries and shows about the history of the universe. I remember questioning why things are the way they are; I was always trying to figure out how things work. I'm motivated by things that challenge me. There are not many people of color in the physics field and I want to break that barrier. My academic accomplishments have not been a singular effort. I've had a lot of support from key people in my life including my academic counselor, physics professor, and STEM Center program specialist at Compton College. They have all played a role in my success."
