Lan was born on October 19, 1986, to Ky Chieu Ly and Kim Thanh Thuy Pham, and from an early age, she lit up the lives of everyone around her with her warmth and radiant smile. A proud graduate of the International Baccalaureate program at Wichita East High School in 2005, Lan went on to pursue her passion for medicine.

In 2017, Lan fulfilled her dream of becoming a primary care physician after completing the Wesley Family Medicine Residency program. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to her patients and took great joy in mentoring future healthcare providers, embodying the compassion and dedication that made her so special.
