Hello APAMSA! I’m Ying, a rising 4th-year medical student at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) School of Medicine. I was born in Guangdong, China, grew up in Las Vegas, NV, and did my undergraduate at UNR in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology. I have been a part of APAMSA for several years from leading as UNR Chapter Co-President, helping plan a UCSF Region 8 Conference, being part of the National Leadership Committee to develop new leadership initiatives, and most recently, serving as your Editor Director from 2023-2025. I am excited to be your next Communications Vice President, where I get to champion APAMSA’s legacy as a brand and organization!

I am passionate about women’s health, diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and health equity within the AANHPI community. Outside of academics, some hobbies I enjoy include cooking different cultural foods, mixing up matcha/lattes, rewatching movies, and exploring cafes & museums. I cannot wait to see where this next year takes us! Don’t hesitate to reach out to me at communications@apamsa.org.
