Hello! My name is Ryesa Mansoor and I am a rising MS4 at George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington DC. I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill (go heels!) where I studied Public Health Nutrition and Neuroscience. Before starting medical school, I completed a 2-year research fellowship at the NIH and have been in the DMV area since. One of my greatest joys in life is being an educator and mentor for others. In medical school, I served as the Director of Education for our student-led community clinic where I organized and helped lead skills-building workshops for our volunteers. I also currently serve as the APAMSA Liaison for the American Academy of Pediatrics and help build the academy’s educational opportunities available for underrepresented trainees in healthcare. I am honored to continue this work as Pre-Health Director and create initiatives that will help our pre-health students succeed. Although I joined APAMSA later in medical school, I am excited to become more involved at the national level. Outside of my clinical rotations, you can usually find me at a concert, exploring new coffee shops, visiting my favorite museums, or enjoying new pop-up events all over DC!
