Kamiyah was active in the National Honor Society, track and field, and Voces de la Frontera. She participated in the UWM Upward Bound program and the I Have A Dream Foundation. She has work experience at AMC Theaters and Kohl’s.

Kamiyah writes , “I want to create a free clinic for those who can’t seek medical care or those who can’t afford it. I know I wouldn’t have these big dreams and aspirations if it weren’t for Riverside. I was surrounded by many people who were supportive and helped me make positive decisions so I am able to have a bright future.“

Her science teacher’s recommendation includes, “She is clear about the fact that she wants to be a doctor and she doesn’t let anyone else’s actions and behaviors affect her determination to reach her goals.“
