Cherry will be participating in a four day experience filled with career-oriented workshops found at Walt Disney World.

The Disney Dreamers Academy will take place on March 12 through March 15.

“When I applied for the Disney Dreamers Academy, I never thought that I would be selected because of the amount of other amazing teens across the U.S. applying as well,” Cherry says. “I’m truly honored that I was chosen and I’m looking forward to this life-changing experience.”

Along her studies, Cherry runs her non-profit STEM organization ZincGirlz that allows inner city girls to explore interest in the STEM field.
