start the program “LA Runs”. Her classmates would jog through the community handing out care packages to the underserved. As a COMP student, she used that same initiative to create “UrbanMission” which provides healthy Sunday dinners to the underserved Pomona community. As a student doctor, Kaylinda does her healing through active listening and simple acts of kindness.
