State Ambassador: Evie Li

Evie graduated from University of California, Los Angeles where she discovered both her love for medicine and the apparent cracks, most significantly for those with rare diseases. She started as an editorial intern with NORD, creating and sharing educational materials about rare diseases, and helped form the first UCLA NORD student chapter. She is now an incoming medical student at Carver College of Medicine in Iowa with the objective to continue spreading awareness and support for the rare disease community.
