Math always made sense to Hannah Shelby. She found comfort in its consistency: the way formulas stayed the same and a correct solution always revealed itself in the end. So when it came time to choose a college, she approached the decision with that same logic: family support + HBCU roots = a great college experience. Originally from New Mexico and having spent the last decade in Houston, she found her way to Prairie View A&M University as a transfer student to pursue a degree in mathematics and get involved in Women in STEM on campus.
