"I joined TAA because I never want another student to feel the way I did my first year! I hope to advocate for other students and remind them they SO deserve a space at the table! Outside of lab, I love hiking, reading, gardening, and spending time with my boyfriend/2 dogs!"

[Penn Trainee Advocacy Alliance @PennMedTAA]

We are back from a semi-extended holiday hiatus to highlight another great TAA member: Kim (she/her)! Kim is a CAMB/GTV student studying CART and NK cells in the Linette/Carreno labs.

"Very early on, I had a lab rotation where the PI questioned how and why I got into Penn. I am Mexican-American and Native-American who is also First Gen, I was struggling to feel accepted by the Penn community and wondered why I should even be at Penn."
