Hey guys! So I’m
usually pretty bad at this “about me” stuff so I’ll just start with the basics.
My name is Parth and I’m currently a junior here at the University of Oklahoma studying
Microbiology/Pre-Med. I plan on graduating in May 2016, barring any
complications! I am involved in a couple campus organizations such as Pre-Med
Club and the Oklahoma Undergraduate India Society (OUIS). I am also an active
member of Delta Epsilon Psi, which is a multicultural social and service
fraternity. I have also volunteered to be a part of the Medical Brigade that
will be going to Panama this upcoming semester and I’m really excited for that!
I want to go out and do something that will make a difference in less fortunate
countries and this is a golden opportunity!

Before I moved to
Norman, I lived in a few other places. I was born on July 4th, 1994 in
Salt Lake City, UT. I don’t really remember Salt Lake City that much, but I
hope to go back and visit there soon! When I was two and a half years old, my
family and I moved to a small town called Ardmore, OK where my parents bought a
hotel and basically jump started their life. Ardmore is where I call home
because I lived there for thirteen years. After my sophomore year at Ardmore
High School, my parents decided to buy another hotel in Burleson, TX so then we
proceeded to move there. That was a huge decision considering I had spent my
whole life in Ardmore but I dealt with it and it ended up okay. I played on the
varsity basketball team there and graduated in May 2012. After that, I
obviously came back to Oklahoma to go to OU!
Growing up, I was
always allergic to furry pets so I only ever got to have fish as pets. Recently
though, I realized that I’m not allergic to cats anymore so my roommates and I
all pitched in to get a Bengal cat! His name is Shere Khan, or SK for short,
and he is probable the best random decision I have ever made! He’ll be a year
old next month.

Besides all that, I’m
really just a laid back person who loves to meet new people. I want to be a successful
doctor in the upcoming future but I haven’t decided yet what I want to
specialize in. Medicine is so vast though so I feel like I’ll figure it out
once I make it to medical school. If anyone has any questions, feel free to
ask!
