MEAGAN KIMBRELLHi everybody, I'm Meagan!!!!! I am sooo beyond excited to be a part of the CPR/FA fam for my third year now! Through my teaching, I really hope to be able to empower others by giving them the knowledge to act during any emergencies that might arise (KNOCK ON WOOD THAT YOU'LL NEVER NEED TO USE THESE SKILLS, but also always be prepared :O). Some random things about me: I love trying new foods, traveling around the world, staying (somewhat) active, and going to concerts -- I am still trying to discover more things to add to this very short list. I am currently on the pre-med track in hopes of becoming a dermatologist, but we shall see how that goes!!!! #INCHIES4LIFE

BHUVAN KOMMINENIHi! My name is Bhuvan and I’m a 4th year MCDB major. Some of my hobbies are listening to music, traveling, eating food, and going to the gym (I am not a gym-bro). Some of my favorite artists are Frank Ocean, Pharrell, and SZA. I joined CPR to meet new people and learn more about myself as a person by connecting with others. I also really enjoy teaching, and CPR is a great way for me to practice and get better as an educator. This year, I’m looking forward to teaching classes, going on retreats, and hanging out with my fellow CPR friends!

jericho ansayHELLO! I'm Jericho and I am very grateful to be a part of CPR. I decided to become an instructor because I wanted to expand my teaching skills in a field that is extremely important in emergency situations, and also because of the close community this club has to offer. Some of my hobbies include learning new instruments (learning the guitar still), playing sports (basketball, tennis, throwing a football around, etc.), and watching sports/shows/movies. Super excited for what this year has coming!

madison yeeI'm Madison and I'm a third-year Neuroscience Major and Asian Languages Minor! I joined CPR/FA so I could help instill confidence in others by teaching them a lifesaving skill they can carry into their communities and beyond. I'm interested in advocacy, teaching, and emergency medicine, and being a CPR instructor is the perfect fusion of all three! I'm so so excited to meet everyone this year and have a fun time teaching CPR and first aid classes! In my free time, I love listening to music, watching Netflix and K-dramas, going out with friends, and trying new coffee shops and restaurants. In the future, I hope to become a physician! I'm not sure what specialty, but whatever it is, I hope to center my work in pediatric care :))

andrew bondocHi! I'm Andrew Bondoc, and I joined CPR/FA to help spread the general knowledge of CPR/FA across campus and to join the supportive and passionate community that has been fostered here! I love playing basketball, tennis, working out, and hanging out with friends. If I'm not in Powell or Boelter Library grinding out work, you most likely will find me in Wooden or on some of the tennis courts on the hill!

Vanessa tranHi, it’s Vanessa! I joined UCLA CPR because I want to explore the field of emergency medicine and it’s always better to be over prepared (coming from someone who arrives to the airport 2 hours early). I look forward to finding my 4-lifers in this program! A little more about me: I love chocolate-filled churros, pesto pasta but only with Trader Joe’s pesto, Game of Thrones minus season 8 (iykyk), and making new friends!

Eddie huHello, my name is Eddie and I am a third year chemical engineering major. I am also pre-medical, despite my odd major. I joined CPR because I like to teach and I wanted to make some good friends. Some things about me, I really enjoy food and I really enjoy exercising. Overall, chemical engineering takes a ton of my time so studying is the majority of my free time. I really love to cook a good ass New York strip steak.

hannah linHI!! My name is Hannah and this is my first year as a CPR/FA instructor. Even though I'm not in the medical field, I think it's super important to be prepared for any situation that can arise like I've seen in Grey's Anatomy episodes. Outside of teaching, I enjoy going to concerts (r&b, kpop, edm), cooking/baking (BANANA BREAD), making ur mom jokes, and trying new things! I joined CPR to surround myself with an amazing supportive community and teach others how to save a life. I absolutely love everyone I've met in the program so far and I can't wait to meet you all in our classes too!

Katy doHi everybody! My name's Katy and this is my first year as an instructor. I joined CPR/FA in order to broaden my horizons and make a positive impact on people's lives through the application of emergency medical care. As an aspiring physician (...or hopefully dermatologist), I understand the importance of not only being equipped with the skills to save lives, but to instill others with the same capabilities! Throughout my time with this program I've truly grown to love my new family and bond over the same interests/goals. Outside of CPR/FA, I love being active (hitting the gym, playing volleyball or badminton), thrifting, trying new foods, listening to music, basically anything I can do with a group of friends <3 I look forward to seeing you all in class this year ;)

monica amirianHi everyone! My name is Monica and I'm a fourth-year Psychobiology major with a minor in Spanish. I am from Glendale, California and this is my first year teaching CPR and First Aid! I am super excited to be a part of an amazing group of people that provides our local community with an opportunity to learn a life-saving skill. As an aspiring physician, being able to combine medicine and teaching in order to pass on the knowledge of how to act in emergency situations is the reason why I wanted to be part of this organization.
