Hey there, calling out from Southern California

Hey! It's great to be in touch with CNR again. After graduation, I've felt a bit disconnected from campus, so blogging will give me an opportunity to continue contributing to the Golden Bear family.

So first, let me introduce myself. I'm Alex, a freshly minted graduate this May with a B.S. in Nutritional Sciences, physio and metabolism concentration, along with a minor in English. When I was at Cal, I was involved in the Peer Advising Leadership Program (PAL) at CNR and got to know many of the college's friendly and helpful administrators. In addition, I penned a food on Fridays column for the Daily Cal, did research with Ellen Simms from the Integrative Bio department, and volunteered with the Special Needs Aquatic Program (SNAP) down at Berkeley High and the YMCA.

So where am I now? I'm currently a first year MD/PhD student at USC's Keck School of Medicine and am wrapping up the second week of medical school as I write this. It's been really exciting and (admittedly) a bit challenging, but I'm really enjoying the experience.

I'll be sure to blog about my med school experiences as the year progresses (as well as write an entry about what I did over the summer), so "stay tuned!" I look forward to sharing my experiences with the CNR family.
