In her own words, she's "the Elle Woods of STEM: leading with music and molecules."
Associate of Arts
Through Seacoast's dual enrollment program, Maleeyah spent her junior and senior years taking college courses at Northwest Florida State College. She's one of the students completing the program with an Associate of Arts in hand, and those two years of college work have prepared her for the next phase of her academic and professional career.
High school diploma
Her time at Seacoast brought ups and downs, challenges that tested her and people who cheered her on. Through it all, she stayed involved in Student Government, Chemistry Club, Drama Club and Marching Band.
Trombone & vocals
Maleeyah has played the trombone since the 4th grade. To keep her love of music alive, she joined the music programs at other local high schools so she could march with their bands, playing and singing with the South Walton High School Jazz Band and earning a spot in the Walton County All-County Band. Senior year, she took a break from band to explore other opportunities.
Center stage
The stage is one of Maleeyah's happiest places. She was part of the cast of Seacoast's very first musical, singing as Belle and the Genie. If you know her, you know she loves to sing, and there's a good chance a show tune is playing in her headphones right now. 🎭🎶
Future dentist
Maleeyah spent a summer shadowing at Seacrest Dental, a local practice in Santa Rosa Beach. Her time there was truly inspiring, and it reassured her that dentistry is exactly the right direction for her dreams. 🦷
Music & molecules
As an intern with the Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance, she went out by boat and kayak to monitor seagrass in Choctawhatchee Bay (for a Gulf-wide report!) and helped build oyster reefs from recycled shells.
Next up, Maleeyah heads to Tuskegee University on the pre-dental path, on her way to becoming a dentist. (Expect excellent advice about flossing.) We couldn't be prouder. 🦷
From that very first smile to center stage.
