Joann has a strong interest in diversity, equity, and inclusion. During her undergraduate education, she served as the Chairwoman of the DEI Committee and has continued these efforts as the Co-Chair of the DEI committee at Yale. Her commitment to DEI is further recognized through her receipt of the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship, which awarded her full tuition coverage.
Joann's passion for mentorship began during her sophomore year when she started a YouTube channel about her journey to getting accepted into PA school. This platform allowed her to connect with aspiring PA students and provide informal guidance and advice. She has since mentored many students and is eager to continue helping others achieve their goals.
Joann's experience in healthcare is extensive, with over 3,000 hours of patient care experience across various specialties, including inpatient obstetrics and emergency medicine. Her ultimate goal is to work in an underserved community, where she can apply her knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of those in need.
