I’m a Chinese-American from Omaha, Nebraska. I served a mission in Montreal, Canada – speaking both French and Mandarin Chinese. My experiences growing up where I did and later on my mission have only served to cement what I had already decided when I was little, to become a medical doctor. I’ve always found the human body, both its function and dysfunction, fascinating and have always wanted it to be the main subject of my studies.
Throughout my premed parkours, I have found that it really has been the people that have marked me. Classmates, teachers, friends and family all have made so much of a difference in schooling and learning. I believe we all need that social support especially in pursuing a career so demanding as is ours. As a membership officer, I only hope to help contribute to that social support of each of our members to best empower them to succeed in their career in medicine.
