MEET YOUR STATE OFFICERS
Valeria Gonzalez, President
Frontier STEM High School
Hey, Missouri HOSA! My name is Valeria Gonzalez, and I’m beyond grateful for the privilege to serve as your State President for the 2026–2027 year! I’m currently a senior at Frontier STEM School in Kansas City, hoping to pursue a career in Pediatric endocrinology or psychiatry and health care advocacy for low-income communities.
Our officer team has been working hard to bring new resources, all the way from the presidential council to guides on how to run your chapter. We are beyond excited to make this an unforgettable year as we take a dive into what Missouri HOSA has to offer this year!
You can find me volunteering, catching up on my “To be read” list, or working on a new drawing in my free time. Please reach out at mohosapresident26@gmail.com if you have any questions or for a chat, and get ready to step into the spotlight together!
Sophia Kammerman-Baez, President-Elect
Mehlville High School
Hey Missouri HOSA! My name is Sophia Kammerman-Baez (AKA your favorite New Yorker) and I am so honored to be serving as your 2026-2027 President-Elect this school year. I am a rising Junior from Mehlville High School. I love being involved in HOSA and everything Healthcare– from dissections to diseases!
In the future, I hope to pursue Cardiothoracic Surgery and study Anatomy and Physiology–helping urban areas and minority communities find more accessible opportunities for Healthcare. Outside of HOSA I love diving into new things whether at swim meets, working on animation, gouache painting, or cooking with my Titi!
If you have any questions, or want to chat, please don’t hesitate to reach out at, mohosapreselect26@gmail.com. Together let’s step into the spotlight and make this great year!
Anwita Puttur, Vice President of Communications
Hickman High School
Hello Missouri HOSA! My name is Anwita Puttur and I am thrilled to serve you all this year as Missouri HOSA’s 2026-2027 Vice President of Communications. I am currently a senior at Hickman High School in Columbia Missouri and on the Pre-med track aspiring to a career in Radiology.
Healthcare has always been one of my biggest interests and passions growing up. You can catch me volunteering or shadowing at local hospitals in my hometown. But outside of healthcare, some of my hobbies include dancing, playing piano, catching up with a good book or TV show, and spending time with my friends and family.
Since my freshman year, HOSA has provided me with countless opportunities to grow as both a leader and a future healthcare professional. I'm super excited to help support and empower members this year! If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me at mohosavpcomms26@gmail.com.
Angela Bo, Vice President of Public Relations
Rolla Technical Center
What's up, Missouri HOSA?! I'm Angela Bo, a rising senior at Rolla High School, and I'm beyond excited to be stepping into the spotlight with you all as your 2026-2027 Vice President of Public Relations!
In the future, I hope to pursue a career in medical research, with a focus on psychology and chemistry. Outside of healthcare, you can usually find me working on a new creative project, getting lost in a good book, or frantically finishing my Duolingo lesson two minutes before midnight.
But whether I'm listening to music, journaling my thoughts, or baking a new treat, I'm always ready to chat about HOSA! So, feel free to shoot me an email at mohosavppr26@gmail.com with any questions, ideas, or even book recommendations! I'm ecstatic for the year ahead, and I hope you are too.
Lights, camera, action!

Evie Craft, Vice President of Membership
Visitation Academy
Hello Missouri HOSA! My name is Evie Craft and I am beyond excited to serve as your 2026-2027 Vice President of Membership. I am a current senior at Visitation Academy and I plan on applying as a chemistry major this fall striving to become a physician scientist.
Outside of creating resources for HOSA chapters, sharing all of the amazing opportunities this organization offers and fostering chapter collaboration and connectedness, I love watching horror movies, playing guitar and going to the gym with friends. I am an avid reader and would gladly discuss any books ranging from Suzanne Collin’s The Hunger Games to Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone.
This year we will work to ensure that Missouri HOSA members not only feel
supported in creating new chapters, but upholding confidence and involvement in current ones too. We will place each member into their own spotlight where they will have a place to shine their skills and passions. I am thrilled to be a part of your state officer team and cannot wait to see all of the talents our future healthcare professionals possess!
