Sophia Nguyen - This Midwestern University Med Student Talks Sororities and Pet Chickens (005)

Hey there friends! This is Michael Le. Thanks for tuning into another episode of Pass the Mike where I have the pleasure of sharing the narratives of imminent or current medical professionals. In short, my job is to build you a community of mentors from the folks that have come before you. I couldn't be more happy to kick this podcast off with my dear friend, Sophia Nguyen. That's S-O-P-H-I-A N-G-U-Y-E-N. Sophia graduated in 2019 from UCLA with a degree in the Physiological Sciences. Next year, us Californians are going to mourn her transition to Midwestern University in Arizona. As an important aside, Sophia has long renounced her birth certificate name for So Phi Phi and will respond to nothing else. If you can't find her on stage performing for the annual Vietnamese Culture Night, you may find her in a dashing Yellow Polo supporting UCLA Health patients or you might find So Phi Phi serving as a bouncer—letting patients 150 - 175 only into the health fair venue. If you've tried both of those, you might find her screaming volunteers' names asking them to sign a waiver or with her Theta sisters doing some hooligan shtuff or with her brothers and Bok Bok back at home. If all else fails, she is guaranteed to be snacking on popcorn in the corner of the room, dancing to herself. I'll make sure we get these stories out of So Phi Phi because I think she personally is the epitome of work-life balance. I can't think of a person better to exemplify to any and all premeds that you CAN get into medical school AND have a whole lot of fun doing it. You can have your cake AND eat it too, both of which Sophia is guilty of. You can find Sophia if you want to say hello, ask a question or need an organic egg him on sophianguyen97@gmail.com, that's S-O-P-H-I-A-N-G-U-Y-E-N-9-7-AT-G-M-A-I-L-DOT-C-O-M. She's very shy but I'm personally grateful to carve out some time to have a nice conversation with her because she's jam-packed with personality today. Sophia, welcome to the show.
