Karina A Canning

Assistant Instructor

Karina Canning's photoI earned my Bachelors of Science in Human Biology at Michigan State University with a minor in Spanish. 

I am dedicated to mentorship, education, and advancing diversity in STEM. As a first-generation college graduate and former migrant student, overcoming adversity has shaped my commitment to supporting students and fostering inclusive learning environments. My professional goal is to attend medical school and become a physician, giving back to my community through healthcare and advocacy. I am passionate about collaboration, leadership, and continuous learning, and I value opportunities to engage with others, exchange ideas, and drive meaningful change in both education and medicine.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my puppy, exploring new places, and staying active through working out and trying new recipes. One of my proudest accomplishments is being a first-generation college graduate and the first in my family to attend college outside of the Rio Grande Valley. Balancing a full-time job while preparing for the MCAT has been both a challenge and a rewarding experience as I work toward my goal of becoming a physician. I am passionate about making a difference in healthcare and hope to contribute to improving patient care access.
