 Hey, Leah. It's great to be here. Well, come on in. How did you start your day today? Um, so I'm a multi-alarm person, so it was on, like, the third or fourth alarm. Where are you from? I'm from Highland, Indiana. What is your major? I'm right now in the Doctorate of Pharmacy program. Why did you choose for you? I chose for you just because of all the opportunities and all the support you have on campus. Why did you choose pharmacy? I chose pharmacy because I wanted to blend my passion for, like, chemistry and the sciences with my empathy for people and wanting to improve their quality of life. Where are we right now? We're right now in the BCC, also known as the Black Cultural Center. What is your favorite thing about this space? My favorite thing about this space is it gives minorities a place to call their own and it recognizes those populations. Are there other cultural centers on campus? There are! So we have the Native American, to name a few, the Native American Cultural Center. We have the Asian and Asian American Cultural Center and we have the LGBTQI Center. How often do you study? I say I study, like, every day. What type of classes are you taking? So right now I'm finishing off some of my science courses. So I'm in biochemistry and I'm starting to take pharmacokinetics and dynamics, but I'm also getting into my more hands-on courses. I'm in professional lab and I also did my rotation in the pharmacy. How often are you in class? I say, like, three hours a day. Favorite place to hang out? My favorite place to hang out would probably be the co-rec. What's your favorite food at the dining hall? My favorite food, so they just got this new dining hall called Crave right now and so they make these a bundle of chicken tacos that are less to have school supplies. Must have school supplies would probably be a laptop charger. Did you live in a residence hall? I did. I lived in Wiley for two years and I'm currently an RA at Aspire. Were you part of the learning community? I was a part of the learning community. What student organizations are you involved in? So I'm in a couple, so I'm in the Purdue Pharmacy Ambassadors. I'm in the Pharmacy Student Council and I'm a brother of Kappasai. Are you involved in research? I'm currently not involved in research. What do you like most about Purdue? What I like most about Purdue is all the opportunities and support we have. What do you like least? Parking. We don't have a lot of that. What do you wish you knew in high school? I wish I knew in high school that it's okay to be more flexible and just because an opportunity presents itself, you can weigh the value of it. You don't have to just take it because it's there. What resources does a college pharmacy offer that you take advantage of? So the College of Pharmacy has the peer mentoring program that's really successful and so it pairs like an upper-classman student with an under-classman student and it really helps you just get that current perspective on what's going on in the college. What three things you can't live without? I can't live without my phone, my laptop and my headphones. What do you lose all the time? My headphones. How many years from now? Ten years from now. I'm hoping I would have completed my presidency and hoping I'd get a career in the clinical or academia side doing ambulatory care. Most important advice to you would give a future college student? Get ready to work and be adaptable. We go through a lot of different professors so they can teach their specialty and each one of them is different. What was the last book you read? The last book I read was The Center Can Not Hold, My Journey Through Madness. It's about schizophrenia. It was a very interesting perspective. As a college student, when do you feel most nervous? I'd say I feel most nervous right before my performance-based assessment so it's when we have actual people from the community come to get some of their blood work done and stuff and we're doing around them as if we're practitioners. Facebook, Twitter or Instagram? Instagram. Who was the last person you texted? My roommate. What is an ironic or funny experience you've had at Purdue? One time I convinced my friends to go to Starbucks with me at 5.30 in the morning so I could get a free cup. What makes you the proudest? Getting into Purdue's pharmacy program. What is the bravest thing you've ever done? I've had to stand up to people, not following the rules. We're almost done. What is your best habit? I think my best habit would be my perseverance and willingness to ask questions. What do you do when you're not in school? When I'm not in school, I'm typically getting my workout in. Best way to decompress? Best way to decompress is definitely TikTok videos. Bye guys, I'll see you later.
