    Kimberly Serna is a first-year student attending KCC who is majoring in Physical Therapy. The 18-year-old, who graduated from Farrington High School in May 2017, said that she has felt a connection with the medical field since her junior year when she had the opportunity to do job shadowing and work-study as a physical therapy assistant (PTA) through the school's health academy.

Upon receiving her associate's degree at KCC, Serna hopes to work in Tripler Army Medical Center as a PTA in the future.
