Cheryl Carandang Nocon

Cheryl is a fellowship-trained head and neck surgeon (ENT) originally from Chicago, currently residing in Los Angeles. She has been a volunteer for multiple Operational International mission trips, witnessing the transformative impact these missions had in the lives of hundreds of patients. Her current practice in East Los Angeles serves a predominantly Spanish-speaking, immigrant patient population that faces unique health care barriers, including low health literacy, poor patient advocacy and lack of insurance/underinsurance. Her experiences, both domestic and international, have motivated her to create Team SEE Kenya as a means to combat health care inequities, by focusing on the needs and goals of the local health care professionals. She seeks to support her Kenyan colleagues in their efforts toward sustainable care of their patients, by enriching their educational and training opportunities. She is currently working on her Masters of Public Health degree to further develop her career in global health. In her spare time, she enjoys running, reading, and learning Gen alpha slang from her brilliant and talented daughter.
