April teaches 9th grade science. She feels it is important to stay up-to-date on science technology & innovation. She wants to be an example to her students, so she seeks out learning opportunities. @pathmaker_hci allowed her to accomplish both goals. huntsmancancer.orgpathmaker

Alycia is Price, Utah. She spent her time in @PathMaker_HCI working with @warnerecho and @_ambreen studying hereditary cancer risk in young adults. Growing up Alycia never saw a doctor that looked like her. She plans to go to medical school, so others can see themselves in her.

Until a friend encouraged Ama to apply for @pathmaker_hci she had planned on being a civil rights attorney. After researching rural & urban health disparities in @sky_john’s lab she has realized that she is interested in making a difference through health care.

Amazing story, evolution, and trajectory! Kudos, Diwas, @JudithSimcox @UofUBiochem @huntsmancancer @PathMaker_HCI It takes a village!
The best part of being a mentor is watching your trainees achieve their dreams. Diwas was a high school student I mentored @UofUBiochem. His family came to the USA as refugees when he was in middle school, and now he going to be an MD serving his community ❤️
