Roxi R.
Class of 2010
Read my blog: Roxi Rules
Hometown: Houston, TX
Major/Minor: Public Health Studies (natural science concentration), Latin American Studies; premed focus
Current residence: McCoy Hall
Campus involvement: Sailing Club, Outdoors Pursuits, Wind Ensemble, Flute Choir
Why I chose Johns Hopkins: I fell in love with the people here. I'm surrouned by people who perpetually inspire me to broaden my horizons and support me in anything I want to do, no matter how random or crazy!
Favorite class: Introduction to Latin American Studies with Professor Magda von der Heydt-Coca. The class focuses on exploring Latin American history and culture from a sociological or anthropological stance.
My favorite Johns Hopkins memory so far: When we won the 2007 NCAA lacrosse championship. We were all stoked, and it was so cool to be able to say, that's right, my school ROCKS.
Favorite spot on the Homewood campus: I love walking down Wyman Park Drive on the backside of campus. One of my favorite things about Hopkins is that it is so easy to completely forget that you're in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the country.
Where I see myself in 10 years: Currently, the plan is to get myself into medical school and eventually get my certification in aerospace medicine and work for NASA.
Three unusual things about myself:
- I'm a first-generation American. My mom is from Singapore and my dad is from Iran.
- I drove more than 2,000 miles this summer to get to Hopkins.
- My favorite musician of all time is Nat King Cole.
