Hi everyone! My name is Alex Walkon, and I\u2019m currently a first-year student at Geisel. I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan and graduated from the University of Michigan. Before coming to Geisel, I worked as medical assistant at a pediatric clinic and taught music to children in Washtenaw County. I love basketball, tennis, movies, and guitar. I can\u2019t wait to help Geisel students continue to engage with the Upper Valley community and make a difference we\u2019re all proud of!<\/div>\n

Hi everyone, my name is Dain Shirmer, and I\u2019m a fourth-year medical student in the class of 2027 applying into internal medicine with an interest in oncology. I grew up in rural central Pennsylvania and attended Juniata College, where I studied biology and played on the men\u2019s soccer team.

My name is Corbin Dameron and I am so excited to be joining Helen as co-Chair of Academics.\u00a0I am from Charlottesville, Virginia and attended Middlebury College where I studied neuroscience. Before coming to Geisel, I moved a lot, climbed some mountains, worked as a scribe in medical oncology, volunteered at needle exchanges, and did a post-bacc and some research in addition to various very odd jobs.

I am passionate about medical education and hope to one day teach medical students!

Hi everyone! My name is Eric Wang, and I have the utmost pleasure of serving as one of your Co-Chairs of Diversity and Inclusion for the 2025-2026 school year. I grew up in Westchester County, NY before moving to NYC, where I attended the College of Arts and Science (CAS) at New York University, having graduated in 2021 with a BA in Biochemistry and a Minor in Mathematics. After graduating,\u00a0I pursued a MS in Human Nutrition at Columbia University, receiving my degree in 2022, and worked as an education assistant and clinical research coordinator at Columbia and Mount Sinai Morningside, respectively. During that same timeframe, I also helped found what would eventually become the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Cultural Heritage and Identity through Food And Nutrition (CHIFAN), which focuses on delivering culturally relevant nutrition education to NYC youth. Currently, I am an MS3 with a specialty interest in dermatology. Outside my academic work, my hobbies include dance, fashion, skincare, K-pop, and watching anime. Most importantly, however, I am a major foodie!<\/span><\/p>\n

For fun, I love reading, cooking, trail running, skiing, and losing in pickup basketball and soccer to my freakishly athletic and good-looking classmates.

Hi, my name is Stephanie Lebby, and I could not be more excited to serve as a Co-Chair of Wellness this year! I am from Big Bear Lake, California, and attended Dartmouth College, where I was a member of the Alpine Ski Team and fell in love with the Upper Valley. Before starting medical school at Geisel, I completed a Master\u2019s in Physical Activity and Wellness Science at the University of Vermont, where I learned about the connection between the mind and body and the effects of lifestyle on health. I later transitioned into a role as a research coordinator for the Weight & Wellness Center and Culinary Medicine Program at DHMC. In my free time I enjoy anything that gets me moving such as skiing, biking, hiking, running, and surfing. I hope to continue my passion for wellness by fostering a sense of community for my classmates, creating events that bring us together, and bringing small moments of joy into our busy schedules.<\/p>\n
