Hi my name is Selena!

2025-01-23 05:56:26 UTC

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.

Hello, my name is Adrian Alog. I am currently in my third year majoring in biology at CPP. In the future, I plan on becoming a clinical laboratory scientist (CLS) like my late father. When I have free time, my favorite hobbies include listening to music, reading books, playing video games, eating food, exercising, and gardening. Although I find it nerve-racking to take such a challenging course, I look forward to excelling at organic chemistry with everyone!
