1. Tell us about your dog!
Her name is Pumpkin and she is a 1.5yo golden retriever. She is a sweet and loyal pup, always waking up with me on test days at 5AM to sit at my feet and keep them warm. She likes long walks and digging through my sock drawer, and she's actually got the whole Laterality thing down (Left Paw, Right Paw, Left Foot, Right Foot) so I pay her in treats instead of VT dollas. Her best friend is a corgi named Kona, and they both like to cause mischief when they are together. This caramel colored duo likes to go around the dog park together to beg unsuspecting humans for treats in exchange for irresistible puppy eyes. Pumpkin goes by several nicknames in our house: Pumpkin Pie, Punky, Moon Moon, Goldilocks, ??. She was also the "Pet of the Month" on Anaheim Pet Feed's website last year! She has nice aunts that spoil her all the time and she always looks forward to seeing them.
2. What are your favorite things to do when not studying?
Hanging out with hubs and puppy, Disneyland, Netflix, cooking new recipes and shopping for them. I always find it fun hunting down new ingredients in ethnic markets that I've never been to! I cook for a picky eater so it's exciting when I discover something that makes him happy!
3. What's your favorite shift in clinic so far this summer?
I just started CL for the 2nd half and I've been enjoying it. I like that there are several specialties lumped into this department like Dry Eye, pre/post-ops, and Color Deficiency. And of course Prosthetics which I find pretty cool. It's much more exciting than, "I'm just here for my yearly exam" since you never know what kind of case will show up!
4. What has been the most interesting moment in clinic so far for you?
A patient counted the number of seconds it took for me to do BIO.
5. Tell us something we don't know about you.
I am crazy about spicy food!!!! There is a "fire noodle challenge" on youtube where people film themselves eating this spicy brand of Korean noodles, and I LOVE IT. If you've ever dined with me, you'd know that I always ask for hot sauce. I have also recently discovered bottled "capsaicin" at the Korean market, where they basically took the extract from these hot peppers and bottled it in liquid form. My friends and I had a fun time in Seattle trying "pepper jam" at Pike Place Market where they made sweet but spicy jams out of ghost peppers and the like.
