My best friends would describe me as funny, outgoing, and always willing to help.
I chose pharmacy because I wanted to be in a field that could provide job security, allow me to make a good enough living to support a family, and allow me to help others.
I chose STLCOP because I liked the city of St. Louis, and I wanted to go out of state to see what else was out there.
What area of pharmacy are you interested in? Retail
My career goals include: One day hopefully be a district supervisor for Walgreen's.
My favorite thing to do in St. Louis is celebrating after doing well on an exam.
What activities are you involved with on campus? Lambda Chi Alpha, Campus Activities Board, and supporter of the Eutectics Dance team
My favorite class at STLCOP was Therapeutics 3. I had a great discussion leader, a really good group, and the class involved a lot of the disease states I provide medications for at work.
The best thing about being a student at STLCOP is that everyone in your class has the same major, so you have a lot of support and understanding from your peers.
My favorite restaurant in St. Louis is Eleven Eleven Mississippi.
My favorite place to study is at Washington University’s library (upstairs above the Starbucks where the piano is).
My favorite College events are intramural sports.
My favorite way to spend a weekend while at school is getting some good studying in during the day, going out to eat with friends, and then just enjoying the city.
I spend my leisure time watching SportsCenter, playing the piano, working out, and relaxing at Forest Park.
A song that best describes my life: “I Will Survive”
Famous person I would like to meet: Yao Ming
Favorite TV shows: anything on the Food Network, Travel Channel, and ESPN, and “Friends.”
My Favorite holiday is Chinese New Year because I get to see my family and celebrate all the money I received.
My most memorable experience at STLCOP is the times that my fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha, won organization of the year.
