Hello! I’m Ashley, and I am a P3 at the College of Pharmacy. I grew up in a rural community in Kansas where I would spend my days running around outside and playing with animals. I played numerous sports growing up but had a deep love for wrestling which led me to wrestling at Ottawa University during my undergraduate degree. I enjoy slowly turning my apartment into a tropical jungle and taking my dog, Pixie, on adventures. As the stress of starting pharmacy school during covid, I was quickly reminded the importance of physical health for my mental health. I am excited to be a part of the first Medicine in Motion Chapter at University of Michigan.

My name is Dalton Bender and I am a 3rd year DNP-FNP student. I am pursuing my certified nurse educator certificate, as well. I currently work full-time at MSSU at Michigan Medicine with experience in med/surg and ICU. Before that, I worked as a medical technologist (what is an MT?) with my first bachelor's degree. I am one of the graduate nursing directors at the U of M Student-Run Free Clinic and have a passion for rural/underserved healthcare, LGBTQIA+ healthcare, and advocacy. Most of my free time is spent with my dog, watching TV, and during the summer, I play volleyball!

My name is Erin, and I'm a 2nd year medical student at the University of Michigan Medical School. I'm interested in providing equitable care to underserved and culturally isolated communities. I enjoy thrifting, murder mystery parties, and biking around rivers. Working as a peer counselor during college and medical school have taught me the importance of seeking support from within communities. I hope Medicine in Motion can serve as a source of support and community for the students, staff, and faculty members in our healthcare system!
