Dr. Gemma Jamena, Former Ohlone College EOPS Student - EOPS Alumni Highlights - Extended Opportunity Programs and Services

Dr. Gemma Jamena received her Doctor of Medicine degree from Ross University School of Medicine. She is currently completing her residency at Virtua Memorial Hospital – Mount Holly, New Jersey.

I believe experience is the best teacher so I have to give credit where it is due when it comes to certain attributes that have served me well in my studies and interpersonal relations. Such attributes are as follows:

• diligence when doing what needs to be done
• a team player mentality that focuses on how best to improve the situation for the most good
• confidence to assume responsibility when the need arises
• and most of all, seeing others as people of value no matter their creed, color, or faith.

EOPS is a safe training ground for becoming the kind of people you yourself would want to be working with. That's why people from this program always remember EOPS with a smile.
