Andrew Nguyen, Class of 2030

Howdy! I’m originally from Houston, Texas. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Health and a minor in Psychology. During my college years, I explored a variety of passions, from serving as a camp counselor and mentoring first-year students to conducting research and co-founding a nonprofit organization focused on reducing health disparities.

Interestingly, I originally started on the pre-dental track, but my perspective changed after shadowing a dentist who had previously worked as a pharmacist. Through our conversations, I learned how medication management, drug interactions, and patient education influence nearly every aspect of healthcare. Seeing the impact pharmacists have on patients' lives inspired me to pursue pharmacy, where I can combine my interests in science, patient care, and helping others achieve better health outcomes.

Outside of academics, I enjoy getting lost in a good book, experimenting in the kitchen, trying new restaurants, and exploring everything New York City has to offer. I also love spending quality time with friends and family and I’m always up for a good conversation. If you ever have questions or just want to chat, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to getting to know everyone!
