"I am passionate about U2H not only for its mission but also for its people. Volunteering with U2H allows me to give my time to a purpose that matters—supporting my local community while helping address global healthcare disparities in places where resources are limited. I hope to become a physician assistant in the future and in my free time I love hanging out with friends as well as trying new restaurants. My favorite food/drink is sushi or pasta/boba or matcha and I have no dietary restrictions."

"Driven by a passion for helping others, I have found the opportunity to do so through volunteering and the field of medicine. United 2 Heal has given me the unique opportunity to work with others driven by the same passion and help those in need who cannot directly be reached. As compassionate service is at the heart of meaningful healthcare, I aim to use my experience volunteering at World Medical Relief to not only deepen my understanding of medicine but also strengthen my resolve to positively impact people’s lives. In my free time, I like singing, reading, and playing Word Hunt! My favorite food/candy/drink is sushi or pasta/pretzel m&ms/boba and I have no dietary restrictions!!"

"Connecting with others has always been what I love most about volunteering, community work, and healthcare. I’m majoring in MDCB and Spanish and I hope to become a pediatric physician in the future. I’m passionate about making a difference in people’s lives, whether it’s through getting to know individuals or supporting communities in need. In my free time, I love reading, going on walks, and exploring anywhere outside. I’m looking forward to volunteering with everyone this semester! My favorite candy is the purple skittles and I have no dietary restrictions!"

"For me, volunteering has always been an avenue for service, growth, and community. United 2 Heal has allowed me the opportunity to positively impact international healthcare, learn more about health disparities, and foster community with group members. In the future, I plan to integrate principles I learned while volunteering at World Medical Relief in my work as a Physician Assistant. On campus, I am involved in the Peer Mentorship Program, Mu Epsilon Delta, and the Pre-PA Club. In my free time, I love to play pickleball with friends, hammock, and watch new movies or shows! My favorite drink/candy is Dr. Pepper/Sour Patch Kids and Starbursts and I have no dietary restrictions."

"I am passionate about helping others and have been able to explore this interest through volunteering and my interest in medicine. Through organizations such as United 2 Heal, I have worked alongside others who share the same commitment to supporting underserved communities. Volunteering at World Medical Relief has helped me gain a better understanding of healthcare and the importance of compassion when working with others. These experiences have strengthened my motivation to make a positive difference in people’s lives and continue learning within the field of medicine. My favorite food/drink is kimchi jjigae/water and I am lactose intolerant."

"Volunteering has always been one of my favorite ways to meet people while supporting those in need, and joining U2H has allowed me to continue that passion in college. I’ve felt incredibly welcomed by everyone I’ve met in this club, and it has inspired me to be more involved and adventurous on my journey to becoming a Physician. Although I’m still exploring which specialty I’ll pursue, I think it’s important to embrace that uncertainty and keep an open mind as I continue to learn. When I’m not studying or volunteering, you’ll find me throwing and grappling with the Judo Club or exploring downtown with my film camera. My favorite food/candy/drink is Chipotle/Mr. Goodbar/Coffee and I have no dietary restrictions!"
Christina Fuller
Social Director
Christina is a senior majoring in Public Health Sciences.​
​
​
"Part of my choice to study Public Health was my passion for health equity and eliminating avoidable health disparities within underserved communities. The volunteering we do in United 2 Heal gives me a unique and impactful opportunity to work towards this goal and close the gap in health disparities. In the future I hope to carry on with this passion on a more individualistic level, serving communities as a Physician Assistant. Outside of school, I love to take hot yoga classes, spend time with family and friends, and partake in any and all outdoor activities! I love all foods/candy/drinks except nuts; highly allergic, will die."

"I went to Winterfest looking for volunteering, and I ran into U2H. Now I'm treasurer, crazy how life works. In all seriousness, I find value in dedicating some of my spare time for volunteering, but I ended up staying in this club because of the people. Being treasurer allows me to have an even more active role in the club and to further U2H's mission. Academically, I am a senior studying Robotics with a minor in Russian Language and Literature. After my undergraduate, I will study Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (Autonomous Systems Sub-Plan) for my graduate. I know, what is an engineer doing in a pre-med club? Back to point A, volunteering is important and here I volunteer with a great group of people. My favorite food/candy/drink is pasta/Reese's (only on occasion because not vegan, but I like chocolate candies that are vegan)/depends but I like juice, Pina coladas (non alcoholic I hate rum), vodka, kombucha and I am allergic to sesame (anaphylactic)."​

"Getting to know United to Heal's members, while dedicating myself to service and academic development through the club, has been my favorite experience at the University of Michigan so far. I am beyond excited to continue my involvement in this organization, strengthening my impact on populations across the globe and in the local Ann Arbor area. In my free time, I love to DJ for WCBN FM, watch films and read books, and try new coffee shops. I'm looking forward to a great semester! My favorite drink/candy/food is green or citrus tea, coffee/pretzels and I love anything cake related. I am a pescatarian but other than that I have not dietary restrictions."

United To Heal gives me the chance to combine this passion with my interest in the medical field and goal of becoming a doctor. I’m grateful to be involved in a club that is not only fun, but also makes a meaningful impact on communities worldwide.

"My favorite part of volunteering is being able to see people work together as a team to make a meaningful difference. During my freshman year, I was looking for a community where I could really see this collaboration, and U2H gave me exactly that! Through my time in U2H, I’ve had the opportunity not only to support my own community but to contribute to global communities. It’s truly the people in this club who make the experience so special. As a pre-PA student, U2H has strengthened my passion for healthcare and has shown me the impact we can make when we work toward a common goal. In my free time, I love to spend time with my friends and family, bake, and try new restaurants around Ann Arbor. My favorite food/candy/drink is sushi/Kit-Kats/Matcha or Boba and I have no dietary restrictions."​
