What is something that you are most proud of?
I am proud of becoming a first-generation immigrant to graduate college and for
being a role model/mentor in higher education for my sister and younger cousins.
Future Plans & Goals
I plan to obtain an entry-level job in healthcare to obtain direct patient care
experience while preparing to apply to physician assistant programs.
Karina's Words of Gratitude
My time as an active sister was cut short due to COVID-19, but all throughout the
new member process I was welcomed with love, inclusivity, and support from all
my sisters and I'm beyond grateful for all of them. Thank you!
Karina's Reflection
Reflecting back to freshman year, I couldn't have imagined all the people,
experiences, and achievements these past four years brought. College is not easy,
but it's doable. One of the best things college gave me was realizing the
importance of community and finding my people.
