Howdy my name is Crystal ...
I'm currently 21 years old. I attend school at the University of Notre Dame (senior year!). I am a Science-Business and Medieval Studies major. My ultimate goal is to get an MHA/MBA in Healthcare Administration and eventually run/own my very own hospital. As you can read, I do not always type in simple sentences. Oh, by the way I'm from Texas. Let me throw down some facts about myself...

I'm currently 21 years old. I attend school at the University of Notre Dame (senior year!). I am a Science-Business and Medieval Studies major. My ultimate goal is to get an MHA/MBA in Healthcare Administration and eventually run/own my very own hospital. As you can read, I do not always type in simple sentences. Oh, by the way I'm from Texas. Let me throw down some facts about myself...
- I'm the eldest of three kids...life can be hard as the eldest (yay high expectations), but it is also pretty chill. Plus my siblings are (can be) pretty cool.
- Hobbies: Playing the cello (10 years), fiction/creative writing (I hope to share some of this with y'all), reading (I love fiction especially Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings), working out, watching movies/TV, and sleeping.
- Favorite Movie/TV Show: My favorite movie has to be Lord of the Rings Return of the King Extended version (however I have about a dozen movies tied for second). My favorite show(s) is (are): Nikita (the CW with Maggie Q), Grey's Anatomy, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, and Once Upon a Time (among many others).
- Favorite Book: This is like one of the hardest questions. I love reading. However, the series that changed my life has to be Harry Potter.
- Music: I love country (yay TX, also Taylor Swift is not country). I love Toby Keith, Carrie Underwood, and Lady Antebellum among many more. Also I listen to classical (studying), some pop, classic rock (Aerosmith!!!), and indie bands (Atlas Genius anyone?).
- Favorite animal: My favorite mythical animal is the phoenix. So majestic. So beautiful. Also it is the Queen of the Animals/Birds. Dragon is close second. My favorite real-life animal is the wolf. I love the strength, the sense of community, and the mysteriousness of it.
- Favorite sport: Baseball/Softball followed by football and basketball (Go Texans/Rockets!).
- Favorite Vacation: Hands down when I went to China with my mom for 5 weeks after my 16th birthday. The experience my breathtaking and the people changed my life.
- Favorite color: Blue or the Red/Black color combination.
- Favorite food: Texas grilled, juicy steak with a side of homemade mashed potatoes and steamy, buttery asparagus. Hungry yet?
- Favorite Experience? The past summer (2014), I had the great fortune to work as part of the Music department at Texas Lions Camp. Words can not describe how blessed I was to work there everyday. I made a ton of fantastic friends and my life was touched by the smiles of the many campers I got to know. Everything I to from now on, will be to help kids, like my campers, continue to share their smile.
- Why Healthcare Administration? I use to be on the pre-med track. Frankly, I thought for the longest time that I wanted to be a surgeon. However, college opened my eyes to my real strengths and weaknesses. I always loved business in addition to medicine. I couldn't imagine doing one without the other. So, after a ton of deliberation, I decide to pursue a field that I feel will let me be the happiest version of myself. Eventually I want to run my own hospital in order to help bring a larger focus on the problem that medicine can not fix. I want to help ensure that people in less fortunate circumstances do not have to discount their own health in any situation. By helping this portion of the population, then the prevalence and incidence of communicable diseases may decrease, and the population will become healthier/stronger. If I can accomplish this type of goal, then I hope to eventually bring these plans of action to countries around the world so that I can play a part in reducing the unnecessary pain of others. A goal that I have always had since I can remember.
