Jennifer Guzman - President
Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer, and I am the President of PNS for the 2022-2023 school year. I am currently a senior at Cal studying Social Welfare and on the pre-nursing track. I always knew I wanted to pursue a career related to health but had no idea what exactly. After volunteering at different hospitals and shadowing different health professionals in high school I learned that nursing was the ideal career. My passion for nursing grew through patient interaction and bedside care! I had the opportunity to share laughs, smiles, tears, and even create many memories with patients. I have been learning about different populations, backgrounds, religions, and social justice in order to effectively interact with patients and create a comfortable environment for them. My goal is to narrow down my specialty interests and obtain an opportunity to do a Masters program after graduating from Cal! Fun fact: I enjoy hiking and exploring new places! I also love trying food from different cuisines!! |
Olinha Tan - Vice President
Hi! My name is Olinha Tan, and I am the Pre-Nursing Society's co-secretary for 2022-2023. I am a sophomore majoring in Public Health. When I was a child, I observed firsthand the difficulties of sickness and healthcare in Cambodia. Since then, this has inspired me to pursue a career in healthcare. I was a member of a Health Academy in high school, where I received CPR certification and volunteered at several schools to host health fairs. Although I wasn't sure which path I wanted to take in healthcare, joining PNS solidified my decision to pursue nursing. The idea of direct patient interaction and the lifestyle was very appealing. My goal is to obtain a master's degree in nursing! Fun fact: This is a picture of me at Angkor Wat in Cambodia! I love exploring new cultures and am a foodie! |

Sam Nader - Publicity Chair
Hello! My name is Sam Nader and I am the publicity chair for PNS. I am a senior at Berkeley, and majoring in Molecular Environmental Biology with emphasis in human and environmental, health. I had always known I wanted to pursue in a health related career as I grew up surrounded in a family that was in the medical field. After doing many hours of volunteering at multiple clinics and urgent cares I knew that I had a deep passion for the medical field and would love to pursue that post grad. I had volunteered at a specific clinic that took in patients with no health insurance and from there my passion for patient care and medicine grew tremendously. I was always intended for pre-med, however, as time went by I wanted to still pursue the healthcare field however as a nurse so I changed to pre-nursing and hopes to still hopefully become an MD sometime else in the future. Fun Fact: I love traveling and trying new food and a goal of mine is to travel to as many states and countries and try as much new food as possible. |
