Hiwot Misker is an undergraduate studying Molecular Cell Biology at UC Berkeley. After volunteering at free clinics across the bay area under the program SSHCOP (Stanford Summer Health Careers Opportunity Program), she realized the importance of health equity and advocacy for health care reform.  Since then Hiwot has been bridging the gap of health care professional representation by being a study group leader for Biology Scholars Program, an organization that serves minority students at Berkeley. Hiwot has experience in organizing and coordinating conferences and leading recruitments as the On and Off Campus Outreach chair for HASA (Horn of Africa Student Association). Now Hiwot will be working as the social media and business development intern where she hopes to expand HEAL and learn more about the nonprofit sector.
