#AISSLobo
The American Indian Student Services’ #AISSLobo highlights students from across the UNM American Indian community on the AISS social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat.
Originally from Monument Valley; #AISSLobo, Ashlynn Black (Diné) will be earning her 🎓 Doctor of Medicine degree and joining thousands of #Lobos at this Saturday’s UNM Commencement! Her long journey to become a #UNMAlum was filled with countless hours studying at the UNM Health Sciences Library & Informatics Center 📚. With her busy schedule, Ashlynn still found time to be involved across campus; she served as the co-president for the Association of Native American Medical Students (ANAMS), participated in the Rural and Urban Underserved Program (RUUP), and was a WISE committee member. Additionally, she volunteers at the Albuquerque Opportunity Center and recently completed a scholarly project with the Center for Native American Health (CNAH), under the direction of Dr. Tassy Parker & Nathania Tsosie, where she created a policy proposal on methods to increase Native American healthcare funding. Ashlynn looks forward to returning to Stanford, where she earned her bachelor’s in biology, to begin her residency. Her plan is to become an internal medicine physician and to address health disparities on the Navajo Nation. She shares: “Always reflect on each challenge and experience because it empowers you in future decisions.” 🎊CONGRATULATIONS Dr. Black!!🎉 #NativeInHigherEd #AISSUNM #UNMGrad
