My best friends would describe me as responsible, yet fun.

I chose pharmacy because I love helping people.

I chose STLCOP because I really enjoyed the atmosphere and close-knit feeling of the school.

What area of pharmacy are you interested in? I would love to get in to Medication Therapy Management.

My career goals include doing a residency after graduation.

My favorite thing to do in St. Louis is walking around in Forest Park.

What activities are you involved with on campus? I am a brother of Lambda Chi Alpha (LXA), the 8th-floor Resident Assistant, and I am in College Republicans, the Outdoor Club, and involved with the Campus Activities Board.

My favorite class at STLCOP has been biology with Dr. Becker because she made the information interesting and related all of the material to pharmacy.

The best thing about being a student at STLCOP is being able to know just about everyone in my class.

My favorite restaurant in St. Louis is Chi Sushi.

My favorite place to study is my room.

My favorite College event is the LXA Watermelon Bash!

My favorite way to spend a weekend while at school is hanging out with friends.

I spend my leisure time playing video games and being outdoors.

A song that best describes my life: “Life is a Highway” by Tom Cochrane.

Famous person I would like to meet: Mel Brooks.

My favorite TV shows are “Family Guy,” “Mad Men,” and “Gangland.”

My favorite holiday is Christmas because I love all the decorations, family gatherings, and winter is my favorite season.

My most memorable experience at STLCOP has been becoming a brother of LXA!
