Hello! My name is Kristen Lee, and I graduated from Duke with a BA in Sociology and a Focus in Global Health. I am from Chicago, IL, but there will always be a special place in my heart for Durham, NC. I graduated from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine with an MD and completed an Internal Medicine residency and Endocrinology fellowship at Northwestern University.
At Duke, I was involved in the College Athletic Premedical Education Program, Women's Mentoring Network, Global Study Abroad (China & India), DukeEngage (Ecuador), Asian American Alliance, and Sickle Cell Transition Program. With the support from the Baldwin Scholar community, I grew into the woman and leader I am today. During college, I reached for goals beyond my wildest dreams and I co-authored a book, Asian Americans on Campus: Racialized Space and White Power, and became a Truman Scholar.
Even as an alumna, I am continuously inspired, challenged, and kept honest by the Baldwin Scholars community. I am grateful for everything the program has taught me.
