*Volunteer spotlight*
Please join us in welcoming the fantastic students who volunteer their time to learn from and meet the needs of our patients. Weโre lucky to work with this student cohort throughout the 2025-2026 academic year, and are thrilled to introduce this year's BRITE Student Liaison๐ฅ Ainsley Harahan ๐
โHi, Iโm Ainsley! Iโm originally from Nashville, TN, and studied Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis, MI. Before medical school I worked briefly as a foreign language teacher and later as a pediatric patient care technician. Outside of medicine, I love sampling new coffee shops (even though I order the same thing every time), making art, and getting competitive on the pickleball court. Iโm so thankful to be part of the IDEA team, and Iโm excited to work with yโall this year!โ
