Sora Suh

Sora is currently enrolled as a senior majoring in Public Health Science at the University of Maryland. Sora’s educational goal is to finish her bachelor's in Public Health Science and pursue a master's in Health Science with Physician Assistant at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Sora has been involved in Care Partners for Change since 2015 and helped stop child marriage, protect the life of a mother and infant, and send school supplies to girls. Sora recently joined U21 Global Citizenship Program to develop her leadership skills and learn more about global health and gender equality. Sora has been an endodontist assistant since 2007 and has leadership qualities and experience from my endodontist office as the office manager. Sora leads by example, works effectively with a team, and supports women in the workplace. In today's society, many workplace barriers restrict women's leadership opportunities and fairness in the workplace, in particular, women of color face systemic gender and racial discrimination. Sora strongly believe that there is an urgent need to take concrete global action to eradicate early child marriage and child sexual abuse. Furthermore, we must collectively speak up to eliminate gender discrimination, gender bias, and violence against women and girls. All women should help and support each other and protect the most disadvantaged groups including women of color, women with disabilities, lesbians, bisexual women, and women living in poverty in our society.
