Hi everyone! My name is Victoria Cegielski and I am a fifth-year student in the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine six-year medical program. I am academically interested in ophthalmology, with concurrent research interests in ophthalmology and neurophysiology.
Outside of school, I have served on APAMSA National Board as Social Media Director, Region VI Director, and am super excited to work this coming year as Alumni Director!
Originally from Washington state, moving from Seattle to Kansas City was a difficult transition for me; I struggled with finding a true sense of belonging. Getting involved with APAMSA was my turning point, connecting me with local and national AANHPI community members who showed me my sense of purpose.
I would not be where I am today without the support of our alumni; for this, I am beyond grateful. Thus, I seek to facilitate mentorship for the upcoming generations of our APAMSA members in my role this next year!
