Hi everyone! My name is Jessica Ngo, and I am a medical student at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). I am originally from Garland, TX, and I earned my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin. I previously served as National APAMSA Co-Sponsorship Director 2023-24 and on the 2022 National APAMSA Hepatitis Conference Committee. I am passionate about preventive medicine, especially through lifestyle changes for chronic diseases. I’ve organized nutrition booths promoting diets like DASH and diabetic diets, and put on a charity 5K to encourage exercise and raise funds for shoe donations. In my free time, I love spending time outdoors hiking/camping, playing pickleball, trying out new recipes, and hanging out with my dog, Lily, who loves to play fetch on the Galveston beaches.
