Over the last five years, actively engaging in ̽»¨Â¥, the organization that supports the development of our entire profession, has been fulfilling and rewarding. At the 2022 conference, I chaired the Graduate and Professional Schools Committee and presented on telecommuting. I also volunteered at the Portland Booth and at the First-Time Attendee Session. In previous years, I have presented on social justice in our everyday jobs, negotiation skills, curriculum and more. I’ve also spoken on a social justice focused panel and worked to begin a social justice listserv. I love giving back and offering my service, and am eager to continue doing so in new ways.
My perspective comes from working at a private institution where many of the students my office serves, study in the health professions. I strongly value the support and experiences I have gained through ̽»¨Â¥ in the Graduate and Professional Schools Committee, attending some AAPI Caucus meetings and events, and other formal and informal ̽»¨Â¥ groups.
