What is your goal for this year's Conference?

My goal for this year’s conference is to build upon what we accomplished last year. In my role, I’d like to make our social media—especially Instagram and the website—more accessible and inclusive by creating more reels to boost engagement. I also hope to ensure we share all of our resources and upcoming information clearly, so that future healthcare professionals have as many opportunities as possible through our event.

What advice do you have for attendees?

My advice is to look over the program booklet on our website one to two weeks before the event. That way, you can plan which workshops you want to attend and have backup options in case a session fills up. Also, don’t be shy about talking to other students about your journey—you might meet someone on a similar path, and sharing your experiences could help each other grow. Most importantly, have fun and make the most out of your experience!
