Hi my name is Nadine and I am so very excited to be serving you as a 12-pac member! I am a Pirate Alumni (East Carolina University) and have moved to Florida for medical school. So if any of you out-of-staters have any questions feel free to ask me all about the transition! I am involved in AMSA, AMA, and PWH. I also love going out and having a good time so if you have any questions about the Tampa social scene let me know!!

Whaddup kids! Congrats on making the best decision of your lives. I grew up in south Tampa so I already knew how great this city is, and hopefully you guys will find that out too. I majored in biomedical engineering at Duke, so I was the target of much abuse during last year’s basketball season. As far as hobbies go I enjoy running, boating, trying to surf, hanging out with my dog Tablet, and occasionally fighting the crowds at MacDinton’s. The pic is of me from last year’s 80’s party, which Catherine and I are in charge of this year. I expect to see you all there in thong unitards.

Hey guys and gals!! Welcome to USFCOM! My name is Deana and I am a Tampa native…born and raised. I went to USF for undergrad as well. I love trying everything at least once…which is why I now refuse to go to the same restaurant more than once. So if you need a recommendation, I got the hook up! I know Tampa like the back of my hand and my number is always on speed-dial for those who need directions. I SCUBA dive, love photography, and have a thing for French movies. I love to travel and spent a week this summer in the Dominican Republic with Project World Health. I can’t wait to meet each and every one of you! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Welcome Class of 2011! I hope you are all having a good summer and if not start doing so now; you will mourn your lack of free time later. I am originally from New York and have traveled throughout the world finally ending up in Niceville, Fl. (No it is not “NICE” there so don’t ask.) From there I attended the University of Florida. GO GATORS!! Even though I miss national championship celebration parties, more sushi restaurants per capita than Okinawa, and having my car towed each weekend, Tampa has proven to be a great place to live and USF CoM keeps getting better (definitely check out Nickels and the new gym). Last year 12-PAC really made my life and first year easier and more fun. I hope we can do the same for you. If there is anything you need or any questions you have please let me know. Email me, call me, and bug me in the halls even if it seems trivial. Each one of us was in your shoes just 1 year ago and we understand what it can be like. REMEMBER: Relax and enjoy yourselves as much as you can now and during PoM. It is what this time was designed for. Good luck and I look forward to seeing you in August!

Hey there COM class of 2011 and DPT class of 2010. I’m a Florida native, and I guess you could call me a USF native too. I have my BA in psychology and am going on my 7th year as a Bull. If you guys have any questions about the area, I’m sure I have an answer. Besides school, you can usually find me at the pool, the beach, or anything else that I can do in board shorts. Besides that, I live for college football season, and enjoy some down time with the friends. I hope you guys are enjoying your summer, soak up as much free time as you can, and I look forward to meeting you in a couple of weeks.

Hi Class of 2011! I’m Jackie Doetsch. I grew up in Fort Lauderdale and went to Florida State University. Go Noles! I love being out and doing fun things. Personally, I love athletes, and I like watching them play, especially baseball (I’m a big fan of the Tampa Yankees and New York Yankees). I like going out to eat and going out to the bars. My most recent award was “Most likely to be seen at Macdinton’s rather than at class a.k.a. the biggest partier.” I plan on framing it soon. Another thing that I like to do is go to Busch Gardens, where I ride the roller coasters and attend beer school (med students love education). When I came to Tampa, I did not know a single person, but now, I love and enjoy Tampa and all the great, fun friends I made at USF. Do not hesitate to contact me about anything that you need. I would love to help.
Jamie Fox (DPT)
Helllooo classes of 2010 and 2011, whats up. Well in case you haven’t noticed, I am quite famous for my name, I mean who hasn’t heard of Jamie Fox(x). Only I have one “x” and I’m a short white girl that really isn’t that funny. I am originally from north Florida but have been in Tampa for the past 6 years. I am addicted to music and sunshine and try not to take things too seriously. I’m looking forward to meeting you all and hanging out with you as you make your adjustment and join the world of USF Health.

I went to Europe this past summer, and this is a picture of me next to the Tiber River, in Rome. I love traveling, going to the beach, shopping, reading (not for school J), and eating ice cream! I’m absolutely addicted to Grey’s Anatomy, Big Love, Sex and the City, HGTV, and TLC. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you at the coming 12-PAC events, and if you have any questions about anything please don’t hesitate to contact me!!!

Congratulations on choosing USF! My name is Thure Caire, I was born in Louisiana, raised near Tallahassee and went to undergrad in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. As a North Florida boy, I enjoy the outdoors, sweet tea and serving the community. Over the past year, I’ve had a great time playing intramural sports with my class, winning my first real election in Leon County and traveling to Chicago and Washington with the American Medical Association. I look forward to getting to know all of you. Please let me know if you have any questions about your upcoming year.

Wow, last blurb. If you’re still reading by this point you must be REALLY excited about starting first year! I know I was- first year was a whole lot of fun for me and very social. I didn’t find any one class particularly difficult, but sometimes it was hard to switch into ‘work mode’ at the appropriate time to keep up with material…
I went to Dartmouth College and majored in Computer Science, but I grew up and Florida and I’m glad I’m in medical school here in Tampa. I love the program so far.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
