My name is Lily McNair. I was  born in Chongqing, China.  Adopted by culturally creative Christian Americans, I am the eldest of two daughters.  I am a science major at Arizona Western College, I hope in the following years to earn a doctorate of medicine. In addition to my academic studies, I play the cello, enjoy art, and I am passionate about reading.

​

My hope for the future is that with the practice and knowledge of medicine I will be able to help shape healthcare policy, working for legislation that assists the underserved sick, downtrodden, social outcasts, and ultimately whole communities. I believe the government will always need medical advice for its people, and I hope to be able to provide it.

 

 I want to include future medical opportunities for policy making, healthcare reform, and public health, while engaging in the research to support positive change. I have been blessed to have the opportunity to observe people like Amanda Aguirre RD, former legislator and Border Health CEO, create programs and centers that help improve society through health care outreach and education. And, to shadow medical providers watching them care and educate their patients. I am inspired to move proactively in order to procure the knowledge and wisdom to become a healer and health educator of excellence, with the goal of helping others throughout my career path. 

 

I am convinced I have a purpose in life, so I do not want to waste it, because my ultimate goal is to honor and glorify God. While I wish to help others on a large scale, even if I am not able to change the whole world by serving people as a medical provider, I will be satisfied knowing that I followed the highest and best plan for my path in life: Love God, and love your neighbor as yourself.
