Hi APAMSA family! My name is Ellis Jang, and I am an M2 at California Northstate University. I was born and raised in SoCal and attended UCLA, where I completed my undergraduate degree in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology. I have been dedicated to Asian American, Native Hawaiian, & Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community health since undergrad, and am honored to currently be a part of a national organization that addresses AANHPI health disparities as well as fosters a strong sense of community and support. I first joined APAMSA in 2022 as a Leadership Committee member and interim Executive Assistant. This year, I am excited to serve as the APAMSA Pre-medical Co-Director to support our pre-medical students on their medical journeys, whether it be through mentorship/guidance/encouragement or through increasing accessibility to resources or networking opportunities. Outside of school, I enjoy reading my Kindle Unlimited, trying new foods, and spending time with friends/family.
