“I was born in Thailand but grew up in Minnesota. I recently moved to New York to attend New York Medical College, because I wanted a change of atmosphere and thought NYMC would give me the perfect opportunity to expose myself to a diverse group of individuals. The College has students, staff, and faculty from different backgrounds. I want to travel abroad one day to work and serve the adult population. I am intrigued by diseases such as dementia, and Alzheimer’s. I hope to learn as much as possible about aging development and Mental Health at NYMC.”
