Hi everyone! My name is Ana Buitron and I am a Senior here at MSU. My major is Anthropology with a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies. I was born in Ecuador, a small country in South America, but spent most of my formative years here in Michigan. Outside of school I enjoy walking my three dogs (when it is not extremely hot or cold), finding new and delicious places to eat, and running. From April of 2019 to April of 2020 I will attempt to run three marathons. Just writing this down and saying it out loud seem likes a monumental feat right now. A fun fact about myself is that I really enjoy snorkeling but am somewhat terrified of scuba diving. I hope to learn more about how women impact the healthcare system. I also want to find out how women are disenfranchised by different types of medicine (such as Biomedicine, Ayurvedic, and Chinese). I hope everyone has a great time in this class!
