Combating Cancer is a local initiative focused on improving cancer education and resources in underserved communities. By partnering with local and national organizations, our chairs aim to raise awareness about cancer and provide education on various types of cancer, as well as information on where to access screening resources, ensuring that those in underserved areas have the tools and knowledge needed for early detection and treatment.

TESS CHAN
Hi everyone! My name is Tess, and I’m a P2 student at UHCOP, as well as one of the co-chairs for the Combating Cancer initiative. My favorite hobbies include drawing, working out, and trying out new cooking recipes. I joined SNPhA because of the inspiring message it sent as an organization prioritizing underrepresented populations. Getting really involved helps me learn more and gives me a sense of direction regarding my interests and future. As for now, I’m interested in cancer research and drug development. Can’t wait to meet everyone!
Fun Fact: I have 7 cousins and only 1 is male.
ALlISON CHUN
Hello everyone! My name is Allison Chun, and I am currently a P2 student at UHCOP. I chose to join SNPhA because of its strong focus on community outreach through providing education as well as medical services. When I’m not spending time with family and friends, you can probably find me binging a drama or grabbing some boba.
Fun Fact: When I was a kid I moved around a lot - in addition to living in Houston, I’ve also spent time in Australia and the UK!
