Meet the Team
Hi, thanks for dropping by!
Haley Huynh
Hello! I am a Biological Sciences student at Clemson University with passions in medicine and global communications. I have a minor in Spanish studies and a current research focus in the Nigerian oral microbiome.
​
Growing up as an Asian-American, I have seen how important it is as a future physician, and as a global citizen, to be aware of cultural differences that affect how medicine is perceived. Even for those born and raised in the United States, everyone experiences a different microculture that changes the way physicians need to approach their patients.
Through global and local experiences, it is my hopes that I can improve upon my cultural competency, spread awareness about its importance, and create relationships that will last a lifetime.
Paige MaGill
Hi! I am a Biological Sciences major at Clemson University with a minor in Sustainability! In 2023, I took a two-week trip to Cusco, Peru with some fellow Clemson students to learn more about dentistry. This summer I will be headed to Hungary where I will be doing skeletal analysis!
​
I have been interested in dentistry since high school as I have always had a passion for making and seeing people smile. I am willing to do almost anything to see someone crack a smile, and I felt like this profession was a perfect fit for me because of this!
​
At Clemson, I have had the opportunity to take a class on intercultural communications, my favorite class ever, as well as participate in the Dixon Fellows Program where my group was able to try foods from around the world while discussing the diverse cultures. I am so excited to be able to share my travels to Peru and Hungary and experience a new culture, and of course their food too!
