Hi! I'm Emma and I am a third-year Microbiology major. I just recently transferred to Cal Poly Pomona from Mt. SAC. Before I transferred, I completed a biochemistry research project here through the STARS program and presented it at RSCA last year. It was a great learning experience and made me more interested in chemistry. I initially planned on becoming a clinical laboratory scientist (CLS) but I am still deciding. Outside of school, I plan on becoming a phlebotomist and am actually going on a clinical externship soon. In my own time, I like to play video games and play my guitar. I'm excited to learn from this class since I have taken an organic chemistry class before and found the material interesting and even fun at times.

I am currently a Kinesiology major who will be graduating this spring! What I plan on doing after I graduate is applying to PA school in April! I have always wanted to work in healthcare and honestly wanted to become an Oncologist but once I met a PA at one of my dads cancer check ups the PA definitely changed my mind. A fun fact is I have a small baking business!! I started this business during Covid as a way of helping me cope with the passing of my dad. I have always had a love for baking just never knew how much it was truly going to end up helping me through this journey of grief. My business is called AngelsTouch after my dad. Another fun fact is I have never been artistic I literally almost failed art class in high school and for some reason after my dad passed I ended up getting his artistic hands. My dad was extremely artistic and would make all types of murals and just amazing art pieces. It’s crazy that after he passed I all of a sudden became good at art. I called my business Angelstouchh because my dad name is Angel and touch because when I do my desserts I truly feel so connected to him. It’s crazy to think that baking and this beautiful business I have created,has been such a bright light for me during such a horrible time in my life. If you want to check out my work my insta is @Angelss_touchh.

I'm a second year animal science (Pre-Vet) major and I hope to become a veterinarian. I like to listen to music, bake, do crafts and paint. I'm from Santa Ana so I commute to campus. An interesting fact about me is my first pet was a Ayam Kampung rooster and he had the most beautiful feathers. I now have a small brown dog named Hazel who makes an appearance on my canvas profile pic. I'm nervous but determined to succeed in this class! I wish you all the best!

Hi everyone!

I’m Ashley and I’m in my last semester at Cal Poly. I’m a Kinesiology major and after graduating from CPP, I’m looking to go into Nursing school (hopefully an accelerated program) for my BSN. I’m excited to take this course because I heard the legends of how scary OCHEM can be but I’m here for the challenge. I love to play Pickleball, go on long walks on the beach, and eat/try a lot of food! If you have any recommendations, please feel free to let me know!

Nice to meet you!

-Ashley

Hi! I’m Sawyer and I’m a Biotechnology student. I’m from Washington state, so as the semester progresses I’ll probably look like I’m actively melting. I’m also a part-time wheelchair user, and have a stuffed spider with me just about always! I’m doing research about T-Cells and Neurodegeneration right now with Dr. Kageyama, and am super excited to learn about O Chem, even if I’m quite nervous about the nomenclature. I can’t wait to meet everyone though!
