Angelica Henson (Comanche/Kiowa)
Kee ohn day daw, everyone! My name is Angelica Henson (she/her). I’m Kiowa and Comanche, 21 years old and a junior at Haskell studying pre-med. I’ve already received my Associate Degree in Natural Sciences and am on my way to earning a Bachelor’s in Environmental Science! I’ve always had it within my goals to pursue medicine, engaging in various internships from around the U.S. (Oklahoma, Minneapolis, MN, Baltimore, MD), but I have had a strong passion for journalistic and creative writing for just as many years.
I aim to become a psychiatrist and provide free mental health care services to Indigenous Nations, implementing both traditional healing and Western Medicine practices to diversify the resources necessary for our communities. Alongside my goals for the future, I love engaging in the creative arts. Reading, writing, and drawing from time to time relieves the stresses of school; otherwise, I’m sat watching horror films (new or old, I pride myself on my love for pop culture for films).
Feel free to come say hello to me anytime I’m at the library. I tutor at the Student Success Center for Applied Calculus and Biologies on campus, but if you have any questions pertaining to Haskell, I’m just as helpful. Previously, I worked as an Ambassador/Student Representative for the Student Government Association for my first two years through the pandemic, now representing the Indian Leader as the Treasurer for the organization.
