Ahsan was born in Chicago and shortly after moved to Houston, where he has spent his undergrad and medical school at the University of Houston. At his medical school, he is actively involved as a student tutor/mentor and serves on the executive boards of several organizations, in particular as the president for the Anesthesiology Interest Group chapter. He has a special interest in medical education and hopes to expand opportunities for medical students of underserved communities.

Jasmin Ali is a fourth-year medical student with a strong interest in patient-centered care and academic medicine. She previously worked as a registered nurse and brings a collaborative, team-focused approach to clinical care. Outside of medicine, she enjoys running, swimming, and caring for plants.
First in the family to pursue medicine, current anesthesiology applicant always looking to learn from everyone in the team. In my free time I like running (training for a half marathon), learning guitar, video games, and origami!
My name is Blanca Noemi Morales. I’m originally from Costa Mesa, California, with proud Guatemalan roots. I moved to Houston for medical school with the goal of practicing primary care. My experiences navigating language and cultural barriers have shaped my passion for equitable, compassionate care, especially for underserved communities. With a background in case management, I aspire to establish a patient-centered, community-based clinic that treats the whole person. My vision is to create a wellness-centered space rooted in preventive care—one that integrates wraparound services, embedded community programs, and access to essential resources to empower patients to take ownership of their health. Outside of medicine, movement energizes my spirit. I’m a former rugby player who enjoys soccer, running, hiking, surfing, and dancing to Latin rhythms—especially salsa, bachata, and cumbia. Deeply curious and grounded in my faith, I strive to live with gratitude, humility, and a commitment to serving others with purpose.
Hi! My name is Jackie Garcia, and I am a second-year medical student at the University of Houston College of Medicine. I was born and raised in Amarillo, TX but my family is from Aguascalientes MX. I am a proud first-generation student and Texas Tech + TTUHSC alum! I enjoy being involved in student organizations and currently serve as the co-Director elect for the LMSA southwest region. I am currently interested in emergency medicine but am coming into rotations with an open mind!
