Hello! My name is Ashley Tam and I’m a second year medical student at Oregon Health & Science University. I was born and raised in the Portland metro area and went to Cornell University for undergrad. As a child of immigrants I was constantly surrounded by Chinese culture and traditions, but it wasn’t until undergrad that I was surrounded by AANHPI peers and I realized how important that was to me. Now back home in Oregon I’m excited to put together the APAMSA National Conference! When not running around for rotations I like to play phone games, bake Chinese pastries, watch anime, and try out new restaurants.
