Kiana is currently a 2nd year Biological Systems Engineering major planning to pursue veterinary medicine in the future. She is still exploring her options within veterinary medicine although is thinking about specializing in small animals, exotics, or zoo animals. Her interests also involve the biotechnology side of veterinary medicine and hopes to conduct research and build different health-related machines and prosthetics to help animals' lives. Outside of Conferences, Kiana works as a Residential Academic Peer Mentor and is on the board of SOBE, an engineering club for Biological and Agricultural Engineers. When she has free time, she enjoys hanging out with friends, going on adventures, watching TV/movies, playing with her four dogs, and cooking/baking. She loves to drink boba and eat sushi. 

What is your goal for this year's Conference?

This year, I hope to train and prepare the ambassadors and give them a chance to practice their professionalism skills with the leadership team and guests. I hope ambassadors can grow and learn from being a volunteer and gain useful skills to apply in future positions.

What advice do you have for attendees?

As an attendee, I advise you to make the most of the time during the conference. Since our conference is the biggest in the nation, it is a really great opportunity to network with schools, admissions representatives, and other students pursuing the same career/interest. Attending the resource fair and the workshops, give you some helpful advice and can better prepare you for your future in a health professional school.
