Amari Johnson, Graduate Student
Graduating with Honors in Advanced Nutritional Sciences
Amari’s research focused on metabolic biomarkers in Kawasaki Disease, and she worked in the lab of Dr. Stefano Tiziani. She also participated in a medical mission trip to Panama in 2018 and served as external vice president of UT Austin’s Future Doctors of America pre-med organization. Amari volunteered with Communities in Schools of Central Texas. Because she enjoys working with children and families, she spent much of her time outside of the classroom babysitting. Amari, who is from Houston, plans to attend Baylor College of Medicine in the fall for medical school. She also will begin classes in May at UTHealth School of Public Health for the M.D.-M.P.H. degree program.
