About Teresa Austin
I’m a sophomore at the University of New Mexico, majoring in Biology with the goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. I currently work as a Peer Learning Facilitator, where I support student engagement and active learning, and as a Research Assistant, contributing to new research in computational genetics and evolution.
I am passionate about healthcare, education, and giving back to my community through volunteering. I enjoy connecting with new people and building relationships that make a positive impact.
