Rachel Aaron, BA
I graduated from Case Western Reserve University, with degrees in Biochemistry and Spanish. I have spoken Spanish from a very young age and continued to learn Spanish in elementary, middle and high school. I translate for Spanish speaking children and families in addition to translating medical documents and educational materials for the Children’s Burn Foundation in Los Angeles, CA. I love to read and write in Spanish (Pablo Neruda and Griselda Gambaro are two of my favorites)! I can’t wait to see how this website grows to bring more diabetes news to the Spanish speaking community!
Tiffany Tian, BA
I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology and a minor in Bioengineering. I grew up speaking Mandarin at home and took Spanish courses in college. Right now, I’m currently refining my Spanish language skills, and the subjunctive tense is my worst enemy! I am very excited to be a part of Salud Diabetes and to help make exciting, innovative research in the healthcare and medical technology fields more accessible!
