Mharlove Andre

Mharlove Andre is a dedicated third-year medical student at the University of Florida College of Medicine, originally hailing from Miami. She pursued her undergraduate studies at Washington University in St. Louis, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. Following graduation, Mharlove immersed herself in clinical research at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), where she spent three years supporting Michael Pistiner, MD, MMSc in the development of the pediatric Food Allergy Advocacy, Education, and Prevention program. It was during this formative period that her passion for dermatology ignited, particularly through her exposure to atopic diseases such as eczema and contact dermatitis.

Since her tenure at MGH, Mharlove has broadened her interests within dermatology to encompass skin of color, autoimmune diseases, hair loss disorders, and rheumatology-dermatology. Committed to fostering diversity in medicine, she actively mentors minority students pursuing careers in dermatology. Her affiliations include memberships in the Skin of Color Society, Student National Medical Association, Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance, and Dermatology Interest Group Association (DIGA). Notably, she serves as the Membership Engagement Chair of Sk(in Depth), a well-known dermatology research newsletter, holds the role of External Affairs Director at her school’s Equal Access Clinic, is on the leadership team for DIGA’s Skin of Color/Increasing Representation Working Group, and coordinates the acquisition of sun safety products for homeless patients through her institution’s Street Medicine program.

Beyond her academic pursuits, Mharlove finds joy in participating in dance classes, attending art festivals and concerts, indulging in reality TV, and traveling to new destinations.
