Her education at Spelman has allowed her to develop personal characteristics such as leadership development, improving her environment through service, and displaying exemplary customer service through a pervasive sense of hospitality and generosity of spirit. Not only has she gained a wealth of knowledge in the classroom, Bambi has also participated in a three-year biomedical research project at Morehouse School of Medicine.

Upon graduating from Spelman, Bambi decided to pursue a career in nursing. She graduated from Touro College with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She has an interest in the field of Oncology.
