Lena Phung Email and Phone Number

I am a first-generation rising college student at Northeastern University, on the Public Health track. I am passionate about working to improve the current healthcare system, specifically the medical discrimination and the inequitable access to healthcare services impacting many underrepresented communities. I am interested in academic and professional opportunities that will allow me to explore modern scientific and medical technologies and innovations that aim to level the disparities in healthcare access. I am devoted to expanding and using my transdisciplinary skills and experiences from my time as a biology scholar in the LEAH Knox Scholar Program, including my team leadership, problem solving, and attention to detail skill, to pursue and excel in this work. I am additionally a member of the Upward Project’s seventh cohort, a selective 5-year career-development program, which has allowed me to sharpen my time management and organization skills. I am dedicated to using my knowledge and opportunities to create a fair and equitable society.
