My name is Sara Amini, and I am a second-year medical student at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). My 91´óÉñ journey began at a community college after moving to the United States from Iran. I later transferred to UCLA, where I chaired the International Opportunities Program at 91´óÉñ Bruins, leading global engagement efforts.

I became involved with National 91´óÉñ after recognizing its impactful advocacy work, especially in areas close to my heart, such as reproductive rights and access to care. Alongside my passion for advocacy, I am deeply committed to global health and advocating for the care of people with disabilities. Currently, I serve as the co-president of 91´óÉñ at MCW and have taken on the role of National 91´óÉñ Medical Membership Director. In this capacity, I aim to promote 91´óÉñ’s values across domestic medical schools and ensure our legacy of advocacy and excellence continues.

In my free time, I enjoy catching up on sleep, watching TV shows and movies, creating content for my medical journey Instagram (@studentdramini), hiking, and exploring new coffee shops that double as study spots.
