Hi! I’m Ashley and I’m a medical student at the Oregon Health and Science University. I went to Cornell University for undergrad and am back in Portland, Oregon for medical school where I grew up! I joined APAMSA during my first year of medical school to find community and continue embracing and sharing my Asian identity with others. I started my local chapter’s newsletter and later became the National Conference Communications Director for our 2023 National Conference. I was Social Media Director last year and am happy to be serving as this year’s Communications VP. My time as a member of APAMSA has always been intertwined with creativity and innovation and I’m excited to bring more of that this year. When not studying, I love to bake, play Genshin Impact, browse bookstores, spend time with my family, and hang out with my new shiba puppy, Goji (like the berry!).
