Juna is a medical student at Harvard Medical School from northern Virginia. For undergrad, she attended Williams College, where she double majored in Psychology and Spanish and studied for a semester at the University of Barcelona in Spain. After college, she spent time in New York City doing neuroimaging research at Mount Sinai, investigating Deep Brain Stimulation for treatment-resistant depression. In July 2025, she joined the McGee Lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital to study the role of the gut microbiome in hidradenitis suppurativa. 

Juna loves long-distance running, with the dream of running all Abbott World Major Marathons (only 1/6 of the way there but making her way).
