Huy Doan
My name is Huy Doan. This fall semester, I will be a junior majoring in Biology. I
love traveling around the world and particularly visiting all the amazing places with
beautiful sightseeing, good restaurants and diverse culture. I also love cooking and
creating new dishes of my own style, even though I do not cook very well. So far my
best dish is “Dry Noodles with Fried Steak”. About my personality, I start out quiet,
but when I get to know people well, I become a lot more sarcastic. I believe making
fun of my friends and showing my interest in talking to them is the best way to connect
with people around me better. I am passionate about science and especially within
the biology field. I also have a passion for teaching and helping other students.
This has influenced me to develop a strong academic background in order to become
a teaching assistant (TA) in Principle of Biology class and an ASUU tutor. More...
