Hi! My name is Callista and I am a medical student at California Health Sciences University – College of Osteopathic Medicine. I’m from Arcadia, California and went to UCLA for undergrad. Growing up in the San Gabriel Valley (if you know, you know) and attending a university with such a large Asian American community have kept me connected to my roots and inspired me to learn how a career in medicine can help communities similar to the ones I grew up in. Outside of school, I’m always reading on my emotional support Kindle, watching Lakers games, or finding new boba spots. A fun fact about me: my friends and I developed a boba-themed finance tracking app during a Hackathon and it ended up going viral on the subtle asian traits Facebook group and was featured on NextShark!
