Dorothy previously earned her associates degree and now want to pursue her masters in environmental engineering.

Before she takes on her next degree Dorothy wants to take a break from her studies. According to Baller Alert Dorothy says, “With environmental engineering, it’s all about helping people, the environment, and that’s just what I love to do, that’s what makes me happy.”

Dorothy’s mother, who nicknamed her Dorothy Genius says she knew her daughter had a gift when “DJ” began memorizing “double digits by four or three.” Jemelita Tillman said her daughter “is one of the greatest to come out Chicago.”
