Diane Janelle, “D.J.”, is currently a second year medical student at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Georgia. She completed her B.S. in Nursing at Georgia State University and worked as a registered nurse before deciding to pursue medicine. She is the eldest daughter to Filipino immigrants, and loves staying in touch with her culture. So naturally, APAMSA was a perfect fit for her, integrating both the Asian American experience and the love for healthcare. Outside of school, she loves to travel, exercise (she just finished her first half marathon and she is a hot yoga enthusiast), and try new places to eat. Her current medical interests are EM, IM, OB/GYN, Anesthesia, and Pathology.
