Hi! My name is Thy (pronounced as ‘tee’), and I am an OMS-I at A.T. Still University – School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona (ATSU-SOMA)! I did my undergraduate degree in Physiology and Medical Sciences at the University of Arizona, but I have ties with the Midwest, having been born and raised in Minnesota where I lived until I was 16!

The past five years, I have had the pleasure of serving on the executive board of UA Pre-Health APAMSA and ATSU-SOMA APAMSA, on top of serving as Region 7 Director for National APAMSA this past year. The people I have met in APAMSA have been my heart and soul for the past four years of my life. They have given me grace to grow, and love to thrive – and I will forever cherish the memories I have made with people I regard as second family.

Giving back the love I have received is important to me. As Membership Vice President, I aim to honor our community by being proactive in building the success of our chapters and supporting different chapters’ members on a personal level. I am excited to work with more people in different parts of our country and learn more about myself along the way. With growth comes new ideas, and hopefully I am able to help nourish these goals with the Membership Branch.

Outside of school and work, I enjoy dancing, going to the gym, hiking, trying new food, listening to music, traveling, playing with my cat Leo, and being with friends and family!
