Meet our 2020-2021 officers!
Junha Gu
President
MAJOR : Molecular Biology
“GMMA is one of the many ways that God allows me to connect with others who believe in Him. It is an organization that helps me to develop the mindset to give up my hopes and goals to Him and to let Him take the reins in the direction I take in the medical field. I am so grateful for the opportunity to grow alongside others who enter the medical/health field with the mindset of glorifying God. The chance to reach out to those who have not realized His greatness and to learn from those who have is invaluable. Though this organization I am able to see how great He is, and how he works in the medical field, as well as in other nations.”
Amy Kaneshiro
Vice President
MAJOR : Molecular Biology
“Global Medical Missions Alliance is a faith centered organization that aims to empower both local and global communities. Through GMMA, I have been able to connect with many amazing people that have encouraged me to refine my faith and strengthen my interest in healthcare. I am very excited and grateful to be part of GMMA again this year. I look forward to introducing the Claremont community to all of the wonderful professionals, leaders and students that uphold and exemplify what it means to serve others wholeheartedly.“
Christine Lin
Missions Coordinator
MAJOR : Neuroscience
“GMMA is an important organization to me because it prioritizes a missional lifestyle in all areas of life. In doing so, GMMA helps me to develop and grow in both my faith and professional interests. I find it so valuable for me to be surrounded by other students who are also pursuing their faith and working towards pre-health professions and to see healthcare professionals modeling how they integrate faith and work. In this way, I am constantly reminded to give and dedicate my plans to Him. Through GMMA, I hope to be an ambassador of God’s love on campus, in the mission field, and through all that I do.”
Priscilla Ki
Treasurer
MAJOR : Neuroscience
“GMMA is one of many tools that God utilizes to spread His love throughout our home communities and globally. This organization allows me to work towards serving God and others through my passion for working in healthcare. It is an honor to be part of a community of like-minded people, knowing I am not alone in my walk with God and in my path of life. I am incredibly grateful that God has brought GMMA into my life, providing me with mentors who are able to pass on their wisdom and experience from serving God throughout their careers. Through GMMA, I hope that my love for God and others amplifies and that I am able to witness the power of His gospel transform the lives of those who do not the greatness of God and his love.”
Sharon Kim
Secretary
MAJOR : Biology
“God has graciously placed GMMA into my life and I am beyond blessed to be part of this community. I am on this journey with God alongside with my brothers and sisters in Christ who are pursuing a profession in healthcare, and most importantly who love God. We love to serve communities, live a missional life like Jesus did, and exemplify God’s love throughout our lives. I am so excited to see how God will use us individually and bring GMMA together in fulfilling His mission. Praise the Lord!“

Dr. Min Young Jo, DDS
How We Got Started:
Our Pomona College GMMA student chapter was officially established in 2019 after Tiffany, the 2019-2020 president, was encouraged by other healthcare professionals to start a new chapter at Pomona. Tiffany was curious about getting further involved and reached out to the leaders for more information. Following the approval of the Claremont Colleges, the rest is history. Although we are small in numbers right now, we are confident that God will continue to grow us and use us to share the good news.
Our Vision + Identity:
Our student chapter aims to glorify God and enjoy Him in all that we do. Ultimately it is our prayer that the gospel message would permeate our heads, hearts, and in turn our hands. Through open discussions and conversations about the gospel and medical missions, we hope to cultivate a welcoming environment.
