Jina Park is a medical student at the McGovern Medical School in the heart of the Texas Medical Center in Houston, TX. She is the daughter of Korean immigrants and is the first in the family to pursue medicine. Prior to medical school, Jina studied English with a concentration in creative writing at Rice University and grew interested in medicine and ophthalmology after working as an emergency medical technician and ophthalmic scribe at a retina clinic. Jina is passionate about addressing disparities in health literacy and care for unhoused communities and hopes to leverage her experience throughout and beyond medical training to improve opportunities for care on a system-wide level. In her spare time, Jina enjoys dancing hip-hop, farming crops on Stardew Valley, and brushing her spoiled dog Mocha.
