Biography: As a returning DIM coordinator, I’m looking forward to helping my fellow students learn more about disparities in healthcare, while also learning what I can do to reduce those disparities. Along with being a DIM coordinator, I am a volunteer at Crescent Clinic in Anaheim. In my free time, I enjoy baking and watching TV shows in different languages.
What Diversity Means to Me: To me, diversity is openness of thought and a willingness to learn about others, both of which are important factors of respecting others. One of the things I love about DIM is how much it teaches students about different groups of people they don’t know, thereby creating understanding between students as they learn more about each other’s cultures.
