| I hail from Northern Californian and at home, I like wrapping myself in a burrito blanket, listening to the rain fall, and watching the latest Marvel Movie. I enjoy taking pictures of nature and traveling. One day I would like to travel all over the world; even to the most remote destinations. I want to know the cultures of the people I meet by trying ALL of their foods and listening to all their stories. I am also very excited to start this new school year with all of you. Please do not hesitate to contact myself or any of the kind and knowledgeable officers about any questions, comments, or concerns that you may have. We would love to have you be part of our team! 😀 | ||||

| I’m a huge dork that loves Lord of the Rings, art, traveling, and dogs. I also work for the UCSD Health System (mostly for the ER) as a medical scribe, and at the Zou Lab as a research assistant. Hmm…and an interesting thing: I’m a naturalized US Citizen but currently I’m a triple citizen of China, Singapore, and here…this will change soon though so I sort of want this on here so I seem cool and stuff. | ||||

| I’ve learned so much from the patients and each clinic trip is a new experience which I always look forward to! Besides working in the health field I love films, especially animated ones, and trying out new foods (but in moderation of course). | ||||

| Hi 🙂 I’m a fourth year premed student who joined flying sams last year. Ever since my first flying sams meeting, I fell in love with its mission to serve the underprivileged in communities so close to home. We have so much to offer and flying sams gives the perfect opportunity for its members to reach out. When I’m not studying I like to sing, go to concerts, and go on roadtrips for fun. I also love to meet new people so if you ever need advice on the path towards medicine I’m here as well 🙂 | ||||

| I love drawing and painting. I enjoy art because it cannot be judged and there is no limit. I think there is no better way to express one’s feelings and emotions than through ART. | ||||

| 4th year Electrical Engineering major. I love long walks on the bea… oh wait wrong profile. I’m a multidisciplinary kind of guy, and am always interested in finding new ways to blend creative ideas. I’m a caffeine junky, so you can usually find me with a cup of joe pondering about when to have my next cup of joe, thinking of cool projects, or graphic designing. | ||||

| First and foremost, I have to say, I love the Flying Sams! It provides with the opportunity to serve those in need in Mexico, which is a family tradition I grew up with. However, as a dental coordinator, I help a little differently but love it all the same. Whenever I’m not preparing for the next trip, I’m practicing a Lindsay Bruce song on the guitar, at the beach watching the sunset, or watching fireworks during summer nights. | ||||
