Brianna Phan-Tran
Hi everyone! My name is Brianna, and I’ll be your co-chair for Operation Fighting Diabetes. I chose this initiative because diabetes is prevalent among my closest family members and friends. I’m passionate about highlighting both the mental and physical aspects of wellness related to diabetes. I’m excited about all the events we have planned for this year!
Fun Fact: I was in competitive waterpolo and swimming for 12 years!
Emetu Umah
Hi, my name is Emetu Umah, and I was born in New Orleans. Outside of school, my interests include cooking, running, and watching sports. I joined SNPhA to make an impact in underserved communities by giving back and helping to educate them on healthier lifestyles. As a Fighting Diabetes Co-Chair, I aim to raise awareness about diabetes so that more people will know how to manage it if they or a loved one are diagnosed with any form of diabetes.
Fun Fact: My left arm is longer than my right arm.
