Zaria Anderson

Biomedical Sciences Graduate Student |Committed to combating health disparities, my ultimate career goal is to make a global impact by providing quality health services to underrepresented communities. While matriculating as a pre-Physician Assistant student, I have discovered my passion for preventive care and youth development. I aim to use these areas of focus to promote health equity and support healing within historically marginalized communities.
