Officers

 

Anjelica Saulsberry 
Co-President
Class of 2020

AMSA serves as a way to give back to our community within UTHSC COM as well as the greater Memphis community.
 
I enjoy playing tennis, baking, listening to new music, and spending time with my family!

Kristen Booth
Vice President
Class of 2020

I joined AMSA during undergrad at UTK. Both then and now, it has been an invaluable resource for making connections and diving deeper into medicine. It has taught me about public health and leadership, opened up doors for research and service, and it continues to help me grow as a future physician. I encourage every medical student to come experience what AMSA has to offer!

I enjoy gardening, hiking, staying active, and spending time with my four rescue fur babies!

Eleanor Abreo
Treasurer
Class of 2019

To me, AMSA represents camaraderie between medical students and faculty as well as the importance of a broad, continuing education for those in medicine.

In my spare time, I enjoy painting, drawing, yoga, and trying new restaurants in Memphis. 

Trang Huynh
Secretary
Class of 2020

I've been involved in AMSA for a year. AMSA had helped me honed my leadership skills. I enjoy the volunteer events AMSA hosts throughout the year and they help me become more involved in school.

My hobbies include volleyball, traveling, live music, and having a good time with friends during my free time.

Megan Goss
Community Service Representative
Class of 2019

I got involved with AMSA through journal club events as a second year medical student. I enjoy delving more into current events surrounding the medical field and getting to hear different ideas and points of view from my professors and colleagues.

I'm very excited about the community service opportunities we have become involved with recently, and would like to invite any student to come and join us if you're looking for a way to get more involved at UTHSC.

I love being outside, running, swimming, trying new restaurants and spending time with the people I love!  

Megan Breiner Griffis
Event Coordinator - Chattanooga 
Class of 2019

AMSA has opened my eyes to the field of medicine as a whole. Too often, we get focused on our own niche and forget to see the broader picture. AMSA has given me opportunities to interact with people interested in different specialties and with different perspectives. It has provided me with opportunities to learn from and talk to a broad range of physicians, and has helped me develop my leadership skills.

My husband and I love to go hiking and play frisbee golf. Chattanooga has some awesome courses and beautiful trails! 

Ame Updegraff
Event Coordinator
Class of 2020

I began getting involved with AMSA during my M1 year. I have always been interested in public health, and through AMSA I have been able to expand my knowledge of public health issues. AMSA has helped me grow as a leader and a lifelong learner!

I enjoy yoga, watching movies (especially documentaries!), cooking, and spending time with my friends and family. 

Lydia Makepeace
Journal Club Representative
Class of 2021

I got involved with AMSA because of my interest in public health and inequity. I think it’s so important to continue learning about public health issues and to discuss them with my peers and AMSA is a great way to learn together and from each other!

I like to run, bike and be outside! If I have to be inside, hopefully it’s because I am watching The Office.
