Hi everyone! My name is Sofie Patzak. A bit about me… I was born in Texas so my favorite season here in Pittsburgh is definitely the summer. This summer was an especially rewarding one for me, because I got to spend it at a camp called The Woodlands Foundation where I worked with children and adults with disability and chronic illness. When I’m not working or studying, I love spending my free time in the outdoors or going to any art/music/cultural events happening here in the Burgh. This will be my fourth year playing for Pitt’s Club Ultimate Frisbee Team and my fourth semester volunteering at the Shadyside Hospital as part of their delirium prevention program called H.E.L.P. I am majoring in Biological Sciences and Sociology with future plans to attend a Physician Assistant graduate program. I absolutely love science and helping others, so this seemed like the perfect career track for me. Luckily, this year I get to combine both of those interests as a bio peer advisor, so if you guys have any questions about anything at all – bio classes, opportunities in health care fields, or are just generally confused since its your first or second year and you don’t know where you see yourself in the future (we’ve all been there before) – do not hesitate to come talk to me in office hours! I am all ears for you guys and hope to see you soon. Hello! My name is Owen Poling and I am a Senior majoring in Biological Sciences and have an Asian History minor. Currently, I have a very strong interest in dentistry, and hope to attend dental school in the next couple of years. During my time at Pitt I have been able to gain experience with research, volunteering, and establishing solid relationships with university faculty and professors. Most recently, I had the wonderful experience of traveling abroad to the Dominican Republic this past summer to provide free dental care to rural communities. I am currently working as a dental assistant at a small local practice, as well. As a Biological Sciences Peer Advisor I strive to help you anyway I can and hope that my experiences and input can assist you in establishing and reaching your goals as well as assuring your time spent with the Bio Department and Faculty is memorable and enjoyable. I look forward to seeing you at campus events or my office hours!”
