National Leadership

Apara grew up in Florida and loves spending time kayaking in the natural springs nearby. She completed her undergraduate at the University of Florida with degrees in biochemistry and statistics. She discovered her interest in public health through her minor and research in health disparities.

Apara is currently taking time off before medical school and working as a scribe through the Emergency Department. She first joined AMSA in her freshman year and served as a director for her local chapter for the Mental Health committee for two years. She is passionate about mental health advocacy and reducing stigmas surrounding these issues. She also continues to work with underserved populations through a student-run clinic in her community including education and prevention outreach efforts. She is excited to join the national leadership and work to make health care accessible to all patients.
