Major: Allied Health
​
Hey y’all! My name is Anissa Amador and I’m a sophomore Allied Health major from San Antonio, Texas. I plan on pursuing my doctorate in occupational therapy after I graduate! If you have no idea what that is, it’s totally okay no one does. I love hanging out with my friends, going shopping, and religiously watching jersey shore. I also love going out to eat at new restaurants even though I will most definitely order chicken strips off the kids menu. Having the opportunity to be in FAIM with such amazing people has taught me more than I could have imagined. I truly appreciate all the support, memories, and friendships that this organization has brought into my life. Personally, I think FAIM is pretty dope.

Staff position: Big
Major: Psychology
Hey, my name is Daniel Chai. I’m a sophomore pre-med Psych major from Houston. I love everything about music, and I’m a proud top 0.01% Backseat Lovers listener. I hate it when people say they listen to everything, but I actually do and I’d love to talk about music anytime. TBH, I don’t really have any hobbies outside of music, but spending time with my friends is always relaxing and helps keep me on track.
Being a part of FAiM has been an amazing opportunity because it’s helped me work towards my academic goals while also forging precious relationships.
IB Afolabi
Staff Position: Big
Major: Biology
​
What’s up! I’m IB Afolabi and I’m from Katy, Tx. I really wanted to say Houston, but I just know someone’s going to call me out. As a Junior biology major, I hope to go to Medical school and eventually specialize in Orthopedics and Rehabilitation. One thing about me is I’m a big music girl. If I offer to make you a playlist in the first hour of meeting you, just nod and smile. Honestly, I pick up a new hobby like every month, so I’m always down for anything. I have a pretty long name (not just IB), and if you can pronounce it right the first try, I will give you the most delectable high five ;) One thing you should never question me about is my relationship with dairy, why I’m always dancing, and how many IDs/keys I’ve lost.
FAiM has really become my found family and I’m so excited to share the experience y’all!
Olivia McGee
Staff Position: Big
Major: Biology
​
Howdy!! My name is Olivia McGee and I’m a sophomore Pre-PA Biology major from Keller, TX. Some things I enjoy are live music, football games, and the lake. I’m also a director for a latin dance org, so you’ll probably catch me salsa dancing a time or two. Something you’ll notice very quickly is that I laugh at absolutely EVERYTHING. Fun Fact: Yung Gravy threw a lunchable at me. I’m so excited for this year!! There are so many incredible people in FAiM. I’ve honestly made my best friends here and have had a blast! I can’t wait to be a Big in FAiM and meet the awesome people in the class of ‘27!!
Cole Eckhardt
Staff Position: Big
Major: BIMS
​
Howdy! I’m Cole Eckhardt and I am currently a sophomore BIMS major from College Station, Texas. As of right now, I’m planning to apply to medical school at the end of my undergraduate. Some things that might interest you about me are that I am a retired TikTok sensation, a struggling Dr. Pepper addict, and pretend golf pro. I enjoy spending time outdoors, hanging out with friends, and bringing along my puppy wherever I go. I love Tex-Mex, so there’s a high chance you’ll see me a few times a week at Chuy’s. The aspect of FAiM that I think made a difference in my life is having a group of people in your life who you share similar goals with, who also care for you. Freshman year is full of ups and downs, but having FAiM and the amazing people in it who supported me every step of the way made a huge impact on my year, and I hope it influences yours too!

I’m from Wichita Falls, Texas and I’m STILL not sure what I want to do with my degree. If you ask me ab my concussion this summer ima tell you I was fighting a flying great white shark but don’t ask anyone for the real story or you won’t ever be able to take me seriously :0.

Hey y’all my name is Tanya Sutippantupat (don’t be shy, ask me how to say it) !!! I’m a sophomore public health major from Houston, TX, and I’m shooting to work in pediatrics! My biggest red flag is being a mac n cheese connoisseur, but also being very lactose intolerant. Some of my favorite pastimes are going to the gym, baking, and outdoorsy, nature-y stuff. One of my goals this year is to go camping, so join my fam if you want to play survivor irl. I also love playing different sports (even if I suck at them) so if you ever need someone to play pickleball with you should hmu!! You should join FAiM because we’re awesome and we want you to be a part of it!!

Hey guys, my name is Ashley Luu and I’m a sophomore biomedical sciences major from Houston, TX! I plan on going to medical school with the hopes of becoming a dermatologist in the future. I love listening to music (especially r&b), building legos, sleeping, and trying new foods. I’m also a chronic Aquaphor user, and I really like choccy milk, but I’m trying to figure out if I’m lactose resistant or not (it’s not looking too good :D). I am a professional at being indecisive, but joining FAiM was one of the decisions I’m glad I made. FAiM has allowed me to meet some super lit people to pull all-nighters with and it’s been a great opportunity to meet a supportive group of people that share the same goals as me.

Some of my hobbies are reading, thrifting, playing minecraft, and the occasional card game. A fun fact about me is my dungeons and dragons character is a hill dwarf named Meadow. I have some interesting food habits I guess. I also have a spotify playlist for every one of my “Ali moods”. I’m so thankful for the friends and experiences FAiM has given me.

Berlyn Zertuche

Major: BIMS
​
Hi hello class of 2027!!! You all are so so so amazing and I can’t wait to meet every one of you! I am Berlyn Zertuche, I am from Yeehaw, TX and I am majoring in Big Nerd Stuff. Some fun facts about me: I have 3 brothers, my favorite force of nature is magnetism, I’ve broken 11 bones, and my favorite color is the purple clouds after the sun has set. FLO's are an amazing way to meet silly goofy goobers like yourself, and FAiM is an amazing way to do this while connecting with other students interested in medicine. My freshman year felt intimidating at first and with so many opportunities on campus, I didn’t know where to go. I wish I had FAiM to turn to because it’s a single place to connect with people of similar values and interests. If you're ready to start the journey into medicine with a family at your side, rush FAiM :) !!
