Bio

Hi! My name is Beatrice Pelayo; I am an undergraduate Filipino-American nursing student with a strong passion for healthcare, research, and community service. As the Co-founder and President of Asian Students In America and Health Occupations Students of America at my school, I had the opportunity to lead like-minded peers who value diversity and service. I've conducted multiple scientific research, including physical, life, and biotechnological fields. I am open to internship opportunities!
