Volunteer Profile - Carmen Huang, MD 2025

Tell us about yourself

I was born and raised in Quesnel, BC which is a small town near Prince George, BC. I graduated from UNBC with a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a minor in Psychology. Following my undergraduate education, I completed one year of the Doctor of Pharmacy program at UBC. Now adays, I am studying at UBC Northern Medical Program and if you can’t find me on campus, you will likely see me skating, watching movies, or anywhere outdoors!

How did you become involved in the Reading Bear Society?

Ever since elementary school, I have been working closely with young children through coaching ice skating. I find it most rewarding when I can see children grow and flourish into compassionate individuals who are confident in their themselves. I became involved in RBS in August when my skating friend and now co-chair, Danielle Sidsworth reached out to the incoming class of medical students. I have always had a passion for childhood education/development and RBS gave me the opportunity to connect with my community while also fostering early literacy in youth. The impacts of RBS are meaningful and can transcend into generations of young lives.

What is your current role with the RBS?

Co-chair of the RBS Prince George Chapter, Social Media Team member, and Co-editor of the RBS Newsletters.

What is your best memory of RBS?

When Northern Medical Program students in the RBS Prince George Chapter dressed up in holiday hats and took our Christmas photo – we even had our very own Santa Claus!
