My drive and support for medicine continues through LMSA. Likes: boxing, golfing, fishing, gaming, smell of gas stations, opening envelopes from the side, the other side of the pillow, waking up early and going back to sleep. Dislikes: running errands, flip-flops, the twang in country music, pens with missing caps. Back to Top Treasurer & Regional Conference Coordinator Irma Hernandez livhernandi@ucla.edu Back to Top Fundraising & Regional Conference Coordinator Claudia Sevilla csevilla@ucla.edu Hometown: San Diego Undergraduate Campus: UCLA Major: Biochemistry Future Aspirations in Medicine: Reconstructive surgery/General Surgery A Little About Me: I am hoping to one day pursue a career in reconstructive surgery and hopefully work with disadvantaged patients. I plan to volunteer for programs where I can do free surgeries for children and adults in need of plastic surgery. I am currently involved in LMSA as the Fundraising Coordinator where I plan events such as tamale sales to raise money for the scholarships and health fairs that LMSA hosts. In addition, I am the 2008-09 LMSA Conference Co-Chair. My past experience as an undergraduate at UCLA involved tutoring and supervising for the Academic Advancement Program. I was also involved with molecular biology research at the Jules Stein Eye Institute. Back to Top Secretary & Faculty Mentorship UCLA Heidi Schubmehl heidischubmehl@ucla.edu Hometown: Rochester, NY Undergraduate Campus: University of Chicago Major: French Literature, Arabic Future Aspirations in Medicine: Trauma surgery, international medicine A Little About Me: LMSA is the first group I joined at med school and it has been a wonderful experience! I wanted to be part of an organization that focuses on bringing healthcare to underserved communities. The Lennox Health Fair embodies this goal, giving students a great opportunity to interact with patients who are able to access free health screenings and medical advice. None of this would have been possible without such a caring and dedicated team of students who organize and volunteer for these activities every year. I am grateful for my friends in LMSA and I look forward to the coming year! Back to Top MSR UCLA & Faculty Mentorship Caitlin Gomez clgomez@ucla.edu Hometown: Agoura Hills, CA Undergraduate Campus: UCLA Major: Electrical Engineering with a Bioengineering option Future Aspirations in Medicine: Geriatrics, Internal Medicine A Little About Me: By specializing in geriatrics, I hope to work in the area of palliative care so that I may improve the current quality of life of the elderly population, as well as provide them with the most dignified and painless end of life experience possible. Back to Top MSR UCLA Marcus Urey murey23@ucla.edu Hometown: Long Beach, CA Undergraduate Campus: UCLA Major: Psychobiology Future Aspirations in Medicine: In the future, I hope to pursue a career in general surgery, a field that I am really interested in partially because of the opportunities to do international medicine. Back to Top MSR Drew/UCLA Ricardo Salas rsalasmd@ucla.edu Hometown: Selma, CA Undergraduate Campus: UC Berkeley Major: Molecular Cell Biology Future Aspirations in Medicine: Primary care A Little About Me: I was born in Sanger, CA. I spent most of my life in the Central Valley where my family and I worked as farm workers. I began my career at Fresno City College before transferring to UC Berkeley. After graduating from UCB, I went on to complete a master's in public health from San Diego State University, 2004. Before being accepted into the Drew/UCLA program, I worked as a health advocate for undocumented cancer patients in San Diego County. My future and long term goals are to establish one of the first comprehensive Farm worker Health Centers in the Central Valley that focuses on health policy, clinical research, and community empowerment. PS: I enjoy surfing.

Back to Top Lennox Health Fair Volunteers Victoria Scott vcsscott@ucla.edu Back to Top Lennox Health Fair Supplies Ingrid Hernandez hernandi@ucla.edu Hometown: Moreno Valley Undergraduate Campus: UC Riverside Major: Biomedical Sciences with a Women's Studies minor. Future Aspirations in Medicine: OB/GYN A Little About Me: I am a strong believer in the importance of grassroot movements towards improving healthcare and health education in medically underserved communities. Being a Lennox Health Fair coordinator allows me to be a part of these movements. I also have a special interest in women's health issues and would like to be a strong contributer in meeting their health care needs. This, in addition to loving what OB/GYN's do on a daily basis, convinced me to pursue a career in OB/GYN. Back to Top Lennox Health Fair Supplies Laura Lock llock@ucla.edu Back to Top Mentorship Miguel Martinez miguelm@ucla.edu Back to Top Mentorship & Social Chair Patricia Mayorquin pattysg99@ucla.edu Hometown: South Gate, CA Undergraduate Campus: UCSD Major: Animal Physiology and Neuroscience A Little About Me: I was born and raised in Southeast LA, a community with limited educational and medical resources. This, however, never impeded my desire for a higher education and instead drove me to pursue medicine. I graduated from UCSD and did the UCSF Post-baccalaureate program, and finally I am a member of the Charles R. Drew/UCLA medical program. I hope to come back to my community and serve them as an effective and compassionate physician in the future. Back to Top Mentorship Jose Luis Ocampo j.ocampo@ucla.edu Hometown: Torrance, CA Undergraduate Campus: UCLA Major: Spanish Future Aspirations in Medicine: Physician and Director of a community clinic A Little About Me: I was raised in a primarily Latino community in the city of Torrance. Growing up in a medically underserved community as well as having dedicated most of my clinical volunteer work in these underprivileged communities, I have developed a personal sense of responsibility to help address the health care needs of these populations. Ideally I would like to practice in Los Angeles and use my training to deliver care to patients in other parts of the world.
