Hi my name is Ankeen and I am a third-year medical student at California University of Science and Medicine with a strong passion for medicine, patient advocacy, education, and compassionate care. I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology from UCLA and my Master’s in Biomedical Sciences from CUSM. Beyond patient care, I have a deep love for teaching and mentorship and have spent the past three years tutoring fellow medical students, helping them build confidence and navigate the challenges of medical education. These experiences have strengthened my belief in the importance of sharing knowledge, supporting others, and fostering a collaborative learning environment. As a future physician, I hope to combine my passion for medicine, education, and empathy to make a meaningful impact on both my patients and the next generation of healthcare professionals.
