Hey everyone,          My name is Donovan Mbroh and I am now a senior electrical engineering major at the University of Oklahoma. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas where I graduated from Trinity Christian Academy in Addison, Texas. The most important thing to me is my family. I have an older sister named Hayden who is getting her PHD in Clinical psychology at UT southwestern medical center. My mom also specializes in psychology and frequently attends events as a public speaker concerning race, reconciliation, and diversity. My dad is the head of an engineering firm in Dallas. My parents are both from Oklahoma so I am very familiar with the area. I have another cousin who attends Oklahoma and many relatives in the area as well. I am a huge sports fanatic, especially when it comes to basketball and football. Oklahoma's strong sports presence was definitely a factor in me attending this university. My hobbies include involvement in church, hanging with friends, and engineering.
