Last spring, she was also a teaching assistant for General Chemistry at her university. Medina is the president of University Allied Essential Medicine at Virginia Tech, a student group that promotes access to medicines and medical innovations for marginalized populations who face treatment barriers. She is also the co-founder and vice president of the Afghan Student Association at Virginia Tech. Medina is a founding member of Closing the Gap at Virginia Tech, a student organization that gathers diverse community members with different experiences and backgrounds for candid, meaningful, and productive conversations around difficult topics. She coordinated the Closing the Gap Blessing Bag Project to provide essential items such as food, clothing, and hygiene kits to homeless people in Washington, D.C. In her free time, Medina works with the Blacksburg Refugee Partnership as a translator and coordinator for Afghan refugees. She also volunteers at the Bradly Free Clinic in Roanoke to assist dental procedures on individuals living in low-income households or living in vagrancy. Medina’s future plans include graduating from dental school and opening up her own practice. She also hopes to provide free dental care for individuals who are unable to afford it.
