ABOUT

Hello! Thank you for checking out my website. My name is Samantha Roxas and I am a third-year at University of California, San Diego. I am a second-generation undergraduate and will be the first in my family to go to medical school. I am a cognitive and behavioral neuroscience major hoping to learn more about how our mental health can affect our relationships, and to understand the underlying behavior and neural networks of it all. I also really enjoy building relationships with others in the community through volunteering and personal connections. I have experience in both clinical and non-clinical volunteering roles; working for both school organizations and San Diego based companies. 

​

On campus, I am a volunteer coordinator for Mustard Seed Project, Conference Coordinator for Pilipino Undergraduate Society for Health, and one of the Service Chairs for The Health and Medical Professions Preparation Program (HMP3). 

​

Outside of school, I am a clinical volunteer for Palomar Health and UCSD's Asylum Seeker Clinic. I also volunteer at Taekwondo tournaments in SoCal, helping with judging and general support for our region. 

​

With all these involvements I place importance on establishing genuine connection in a way that will foster positive engagement between myself and others. I aspire to be a Physician and continue my passion for building relationships and focusing on mental health.

​

I am also involved in collegiate Esports, particularly Overwatch 2. I was a previous Team Manager for UCSD Esports and enjoy making connections with others in the gaming industry. I love traveling to LANs and enjoy helping with marketing and general support for all teams. I also enjoy cooking and exploring new food places in SoCal.
