“In my experience with several programs, NMSHSA is one of the few programs that keeps on giving. Specifically, continuous mentorship and camaraderie. Without these components, I would still perceive my lived experiences as a weakness. However, since having a platform to 'tell my story,' I know, without a doubt, my story is my greatest strength. NMSHSA gave me the confidence to own my seat at the table throughout academia. It also helped me develop the cultural humility to understand and advocate for others despite their backgrounds.”
