For Yuna Ha, representation matters when it comes to caring for others. That's a big part of what inspired her to join the Red Cross.

Yuna is a college graduate with dreams of becoming a doctor. She became interested in the medical field after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago.

Yuna admired the relationship her mom had with her physician, who was Korean like her. They were able to communicate and connect in her native language.

“I realized how important inclusion is and how having people like myself in healthcare improves people’s outcomes,” she says.

During high school, Yuna was one of only five Koreans in her entire school. This ignited in her a desire to become a leader and make a difference in her community. Yuna took the first step towards that goal by interning with redcrossccr. 

Even though Yuna describes herself as an introvert, she was motivated to push herself throughout her internship. She did everything from communications outreach to hosting Hands-Only CPR trainings. Now, she feels more confident to take on her next challenge: medical school. 

We have so much admiration for young Red Crossers like Yuna who are strengthening their voices and becoming role models in their communities!
