Bios:
Zoe Adams is a medical student from San Jose, CA. She attended UC Berkeley for her undergraduate education, majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology (emphasis in biochemistry) and minoring in English. Humanities have always been a passion of hers, especially creative writing and literature analysis. At UCI, MHAP and CMH have provided wonderful opportunities for her to stay creative and grow the closely aligned skills of patient care and human connection. Outside of medicine, you can find her learning new hobbies like embroidery, crochet, wood-burning, baking and more.
Emma Boyles Hello! My name is Emma and I am a 3rd year medical student originally from San Diego. I went to UCLA for physiological sciences and minored in history. I’ve always loved doing art and outside of school, I hyperfixate on rock climbing, drawing, and video games!
S. Herschel Uchitel is a third-year medical student. Before making his way to UCI, he lived in four US states and Shanghai, China. He studied Art History & Archaeology and Biology at Washington University in St. Louis. His medical interests include LGBTQ+ healthcare, adolescent medicine, addiction and mental health care, and a little bit of everything else. Outside of medicine, he enjoys eating, reading, going to museums, and building miniatures.
