My name is Bridgette Yang. I am a student at Colgate University in New York. At Colgate University, I am studying Biology and double minoring in Education Studies and Chemistry. After graduating from Colgate, I intend to obtain a Master’s degree in Public Health (MPH), and in Business Administration (MBA), then attending medical school or veterinary school. In addition to my academic interests, I enjoy working with nonprofit organizations, such and Maui Humane Society, and Morrisville Friendship Inn. I am also committed to learning about political issues, and finding ways to build solidarity and understanding between different social groups. Being born and raised in Hawaii, I’ve had the privilege of growing up surrounded by diverse, but unified, people. As part of the MMWOSS Advisory Committee, I am looking forward to being part of—and building—a community that is inclusive to all people.
