Tanya Charoonsophonsak is a first-generation Alaskan. Growing up in rural and urban environments, she witnessed firsthand the positive impact health professionals have on a community. From an early age, UAA’s fall 2021 commencement speaker knew her calling was in the medical field.

“I’ve particularly focused on rural communities — especially here in Alaska — I’ve done a few research projects regarding environmental contaminants and how that impacts a community.”

Charoonsophonsak was involved in many clubs and programs at UAA, saying, “UAA has given me the space to grow and go outside the box a little bit, make some bold choices while still having a supportive community surrounding me.”
