Three things people may not know about you:

• I am the secretary of BTC, which is our organization on campus that provides health education sessions and health fairs for refugees in the Omaha area.
• I have spent the last year doing research at the College of Pharmacy. One of the studies that I have been fortunate enough to work on is the incorporation of rapid diagnostic testing for strep and influenza into community pharmacies. This study is currently being expanded, and it now includes all Omaha area Hy-Vee pharmacies (where I also work).
