Ashley Nies

Hello, and welcome to the HumBio Core! My name is Ashley, and I am so excited to be one of your B-side CAs. I am originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, and my concentration in HumBio was Public Health and Epidemiology. I’ve also completed a coterm in Community Health and Prevention Research where my master’s thesis focused on applying theoretical models to intimate partner violence survivors’ help-seeking behaviors. Outside of academics, I worked as a HumBio student advisor, conducted vision restoration research in Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg’s ophthalmology lab, served as the Community Engaged Learning Coordinator for the Stanford Technology Access Resource Team, took medical Mandarin courses to volunteer as a healthcare interpreter, helped organize INFODEMIC: A Stanford Conference on Social Media and COVID-19 Misinformation, and completed an internship with the Global Health Studies department at the Council on Foreign Relations. In my free time, I love swimming, live music, and traveling. I am beyond stoked to get to know you all in the Core and help you navigate your HumBio journey– feel free to reach out about anything at all!
