Nizhoni Hatch is an enrolled citizen of the Navajo Nation and studies biomedical sciences with minors in chemistry and Indigenous studies at Colorado State University. She plans to pursue a joint MPH/MD degree to address the health inequities afflicting tribal populations, especially cancer disparities resulting from environmental contamination. Her passion stems from supporting family members in their battles against cancer and giving back to her community. She currently serves her local Native community as a STEM tutor and a peer mentor to first-year Native students, and she has served as the student coordinator of Native Women’s Circle. She plans to continue advocating for equity in health and research as an Indigenous physician, researcher, and public health leader.
