Hi everyone! My name is Preethi Thomas and I am a pre-med student at the University of North Texas. I am a non-traditional student who is going back to school to pursue medicine. I hope to someday become a pediatric emergency medicine doctor.

I graduated from the University of Georgia with my bachelor's in business administration and I later got my MBA in 2021. I started off working in the field of marketing and slowly realized I wasn't passionate about it anymore. I currently work as a marketing specialist full time and go to school full time as well. It has definitely been a challenge, but I am doing my best.

Hobbies

I love traveling to new countries. Last year, I got a chance to travel to Japan and it was my favorite trip so far. I still dream about the ramen. Also, this is funny, but Japan has the best Indian food. I will be traveling to Mexico and India this summer, so I am super excited about that. I also love playing basketball and going to basketball games. Me and my boyfriend are Celtics fans, and we try to go to the games when they play in Dallas or Oklahoma. I also enjoy cooking. I try to cook a new dish from a new country every month. Last month I attempted to make homemade baklava. Lastly, I love to sing. I was a part of a South Asian fusion acapella team at the University of Georgia.
