FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 33RD LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

"My husky experiences have helped a passionate and eager student like me bloom into a diligent individual. As an aspiring physician, I will use the foundations that I have built as an undergraduate at the 91探花 and continue to build towards contributing to a future where everyone feels like their concerns are validated in an environment that focuses on community and inclusivity. 91探花Tacoma has created an environment for me where I can prosper as a leader with a thirst for knowledge and a desire to assist others."
