October M.O.M.:

Bryan Han!

Name: Bryan Han

Year: Freshman

Major: Nutrition

Career Goals: Because the role of a PA is so versatile and flexible, my broad goals are to earn a bachelor's degree and look for an interesting medical field to PA in

Hometown: Galveston, TX

Fun Facts: I wear shorts all year round because I don’t like pants and don’t own any pants

Favorite TPPAS Memory: making cards for hospitalized children and my card making it on the instagram story

Why You Joined TPPAS: I wanted to find a community of others who wanted to go into PA and meet new people with similar interests and goals
