About SJSM Alumni Association

Throughout her time at Saint James School of Medicine, Demi utilized any free time she had to become involved in the community, both on campus and on the island. As a class representative for the Red Cross, she was able to participate in events that focused on the communities’ health on the island.

She was also a member of the American Medical Student Association (AMSA), Student Government Association (SGA), and the Anguilla Animal Rescue Foundation (AARF). Demi did not stop there; she noticed that there was a lack of on-campus organizations, outside of medicine, that interested her. She took that information and created clubs that piqued her interest, such clubs include a glee club (The KeTones) and a spin cycling group (The SJSM Spin Superstars).

Dr. Denny Goss is from Southwestern Virginia and is currently working as an Emergency Room physician and Hospitalist at Carilion Tazewell Community Hospital, Tazewell, VA. He received his undergraduate degree from University of Virginia at Wise then went on to complete a master’s degree at University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.

Growing up in Canada, Therese was a curious individual, fascinated with the elusive nature of the human body and outer space – both of which provided a wide array of intellectual challenges to problems that require scientific reasoning and critical thinking skills to solve. However, it was her empathetic nature that drew her to the medical field. While Therese’s academic strengths have not only served her well in being an outstanding student, they also allowed her to provide academic assistance to her peers as a Pathology teaching Assistant. She is passionate about teaching and helping just as much as she is about learning. She sat on the executive board of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Prep Club and spearheaded various projects, such as organizing nationwide health screening clinics for underprivileged residents alongside the Ministry of Health and the American Medical Student Association (AMSA).
