Alina Pollner

Hello! My name is Alina and I am beyond excited to be one of the B-side CAs for this year. Within humbio, I took classes that focused on aging and development, and I’m especially interested in how we can create a better healthcare system for older adults. During my undergraduate years, I also minored in math and completed an honors thesis in human biology that focused on the genetic basis of Type 2 diabetes. Teaching has always been something I enjoy, and so I spent a lot of my time at Stanford as a CTL Chemistry tutor (highly recommend CTL’s services!) and leading trips through the outdoor center. The outdoors are my happy place—you will probably find me backpacking or hiking on the weekends—as well as running marathons and doing triathlons. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me about anything and everything—the CA’s and I are here to support you this entire academic year!
