Hi everyone! My name is Krystle. I’m a first-generation Filipino American passionate about health equity, education, and advocacy. In my free time, I love to explore new food places (I’m a huge foodie), bake, cook, sing, and explore nature, especially taking walks on the beach and hikes. I’m honored to be a part of the Health Affairs Committee-Cancer Initiative. I’m looking forward to working with an incredible group of people as part of the national board to make a lasting impact on our AANHPI community.

Hello, my name is Christine Jang and I am currently a medical student attending Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine.

I am passionate about raising cancer awareness and prevention and hope to bring national awareness about risk factors as well as advocate for cancer prevention through earlier screening and education.

Hi everyone! My name is Run, and I’m currently a student at Chicago Medical School.

Outside of medicine, I love running outdoors and treating myself to some delicious mochi cake afterward!

Hey everyone! I’m Camden, one of the Social Media Chairs for APAMSA this year. I’m a med student from LA with an interest in psychiatry and a passion for creating content that brings people together. Outside of school, I’m into anime, Pokémon cards, Valorant, dancing, and videography. I love making aesthetic posts and can’t wait to capture all the amazing events we have coming up. Excited to help showcase the heart of our community this year!

My name is Eric Wang, and I am a current MS3 at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College! I am originally from Westchester County, NY before moving to the city for college and my graduate studies prior to matriculating to medical school. My current professional interests lie in serving culturally-diverse populations with a special interest in Asian communities as well as incorporating aspects of nutrition into my future practice colored by my graduate work in nutrition while I was in NYC. Currently, I plan to pursue dermatology as my specialty of choice. Outside of medicine, my hobbies include dance, fashion, skincare, and East Asian media (anime, K-pop, etc.). Most importantly, however, I am a major foodie!

Hi everyone! My name is Grace Kim, and I’m a second-year student in the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine six-year medical program. I was born in Busan, South Korea and raised in northern New Jersey, so moving to Kansas City was definitely an adjustment. Getting involved with APAMSA helped me find a sense of community, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve on the national board as a member of the podcast committee this year! Outside of school, you’ll find me reading on my Kindle, traveling with my family, or exploring new coffee shops.
