Medical Students
Ariana Naaseh
Chair
B.S Cognitive Science, UC Berkeley
I’m passionate about public health, working with children and understanding cognition. I worked as a Study Coordinator at UCSF in Ophthalmology which motivated my desire to pursue medicine and ultimately a career in academics. I love being involved on campus, staying active, and exploring new places with friends!
Benjamin Vanderschelden
Weekly Coordinator
B.S. Cognitive Science, UC Berkeley
I went into medicine because I want to change people’s lives for the better and this is the most fun, interesting, and meaningful way I know how to. I love to exercise, play guitar and piano, watch my favorite shows, and hang out with my two cats.
Rachel Stiner
Weekly Coordinator
B.S. Integrative Biology, UC Berkeley
I worked as a research coordinator in neuro-oncology and pulmonology prior to medical school. I hope to pursue a career in oncology or a related subspecialty. My hobbies include hiking, playing guitar, and traveling.
Yvonne Lu
Clinic Integration
B.S. Neuroscience, Duke University
I am very interested in the multidimensional nature of medicine, and aim to adopt a comprehensive approach addressing the biopsychosocial and political aspects of care. In my free time, I enjoy boxing, traveling, reading, and playing the violin.
Kevin Bera
EMR Coordinator
B.S. Biological Sciences, USC
My motivation for medicine stemmed from my desire of teaching and helping others. In college, I taught in inner city high schools about health related topics, and it gave me ultimate satisfaction to be a role model and help guide these teenagers lives. I’ve always loved the medical sciences and taught medicine was the right path for me. I enjoy playing and watching all types of sports as well as going on road trips.
Kaajal Visnagra
Community Outreach
B.S. Biology, UCLA
In the past, I’ve researched biomarkers of ASD, volunteered with UCLA Childlife, taught underserved children about the brain, coordinated clinical trials in the ED, and worked as a Respite Care Provider. Outside of medicine, I enjoy hiking, slam poetry, cooking, soccer (#coyg), and music. I love trying new food places/recipes and finding cozy study spots with outlets, large tables, and natural lighting.
Janice Chua
Mentorship
B.S. Molecular and Cell Biology – Neurobiology, UC Berkeley
My motivation for medicine stems from a desire to work with medically underserved populations that face barriers to care due to sociocultural and health literacy obstacles, and a desire to encourage cultural competency amongst health care professionals. Prior to medical school, I worked as a medical scribe, lab researcher, and at a health tech startup.
Haytham Effarah
Internal Affairs
B.S. Physics, UC Davis
Promoting good health and providing care to the ill is neither simple nor easy, but it is rewarding. I’m an MD/PhD student at UC Irvine, so my angle at studying medicine is more focused on applying clinical knowledge toward meaningful research in order to forward our understanding of medicine. In addition to being a medical student, I like to play the trumpet and sail!
