At that time stage her dad was a Lieutenant in the engineering corps aboard the station. She had an older brother and sister, non -identical twins and later a younger sister.
L'May grew up aboard the station, playing hide and go seek and other children games with her brother and sisters. Everybody knew them and it was like an extended family. Being one of only a hand full of children on the station she was spoiled regularly. Starfleet was in her blood, the research facility hardly ever saw visitors and she was never exposed to anything else. L'May excelled in art and was fond of painting pictures for the various members aboard the station.
As her brother and sister excelled, L'May sank into a depression. Life on Earth was not what she had imagined. Children were rude and insulting, and there were so many of them. Trying to fit in, L'May got mixed up with the wrong group of kids, and her downward spiral continued. Her artwork also found a new canvas, that of her arm. She became disrespectful and a brat. At age thirteen, she started using designer drugs and it wasn't long before her pocket money could not support her habit.
L’May was given a choice, she was to return home and sort out her life, or he would turn her in. L’May had little choice but to listen to her older brother. During a month of sulking, she developed a keen interest in Science. L’May enrolled in university and spent the next seven years focusing on her studies. She earned her professors degree in Cybernetics and minored in Isolinear Circuitry. Once finished with her studies, L’May looked at her life. She had accomplished a bit, but still wanted to do more. After another chat with her brother, she enlisted in Starfleet in that same year.
With the launch of a new ship, the USS Columbia, L’May finally got a chance to serve on a Federation ship. While on the ship, L’May became good friends with a Bajoran security officer, Don West. She also had her eye on a tactical officer, but was beaten to her by the ship’s Captain Adaran 225. L’May worked hard in the back ground, but soon found out that Columbia wasn’t a place for scientific discoveries. With L’May’s small frame, it made no sense to join the security department, but she wanted to be of more use to the ship. L’May decided to do a paramedic course, to get her into the Medical department. Once her transfer was accepted, she returned to Earth to join the Starfleet academy and enrolled herself on a nursing course, to broaden her knowledge. The Medical field proved to be much more than she expected and it required a lot of hard work and dedication to get through her studies. Once L’May qualified as a nurse she quickly re-applied to join her old crew of the USS Columbia. The Columbia had under gone some staffing changes, and had moved from the Second Fleet by this time, but L’May still felt it was the right place to be for her to be. | Majors=CyberneticsSurgical nursing | Minors=Isolinear CircuitrySubstance abuse nursing
