I like that CMLA’s mission involves both community service and mentorship for pre-health students. I love that so many of our volunteer events allow us to interact with such a diverse community. There’s a friendly, welcoming environment in the club and you get to know some amazing people with the same goals and interests as you. My goal is to become a physician. I’m not sure what specialty I would like to go into, but I would love to work with kids.
Kristina La
Third Year | Psychobiology Major | Union City, CA
I joined CMLA because as a first generation Asian American and the first in my family to attend a four-year college, I wanted to be a part of a community that would guide and support me in my goals in becoming a physician. CMLA has provided me with a lot of resources and a strain support system on the pre-med path. I hope to one day become a pediatric oncologist/hematologist.

Alina Leholm
Third Year | History Major | Film, Television and Digital Media Minor | San Diego, CA
I joined CMLA since I started as a Chemistry major who was interested in pre-med opportunities. I’m now in CMLA because I really enjoy helping people learn about and gain access to healthcare opportunities, food, and other necessities. I also enjoy hearings about different topics in the health industry. I aspire to attend graduate school once I graduate from UCLA, and from there, I hope to have a job where I can help serve communities in need.

CMLA is an amazing opportunity to learn more about the pre-med pathway as well as make an impact in the Los Angeles community. Outside of CMLA, I participate in Neuroscience research within the Ronald Regan Medical Center and Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. I love playing board games with friends, playing sports, and hanging with friends!

Jessica Chen
Second Year | Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology Major | San Ramon, CA
I joined CMLA as a freshman who wanted more information and a community as a pre-med student. I was drawn to this club’s mission to welcome and offer guidance to anyone who needs it. Amidst all the pre-health competitiveness, this club is like a friendly reminder that at the end of the day, we’re entering this field in order to help people. 🙂 That being said, I plan on applying to medical school and becoming a physician in the future. I look forward to working towards this goal with all of you!
Ashley Lin
Second Year | Computational and Systems Biology Major | San Ramon, CA
I joined CMLA because there’s an overwhelming amount of info when it comes to being a pre-med and it’s nice to meet similar people who can help you towards the right direction. 🙂 My career goal is to become a pediatric surgeon.
