Trevaris hopes to peak interests within the different facets of the medical field with black/brown youths by becoming a cardiovascular perfusionist. There is so much more to the medical field than just being a doctor and he is motivated to teach others about what he has found. Outside of being a medical professional hopeful, he enjoys learning about black history, going outdoors, doing things that get his heart racing, and cooking/baking for himself and others. Most of all he loves encouraging other individuals that look like himself of all ages to come outdoors and see what it has to offer.
