Eloise Tran is a junior nursing student from Maryland and loves being a part of this big family we have here at PUC. With the new people she’s met and the great friends she’s made- Eloise has been able to surround herself with people that share the same values as her. She also loves playing soccer and trying new places to eat. We’re happy to have Eloise at PUC! 

What is your dream job? 

I think it would be super cool to be an astronaut or a professional soccer player. However, I am really looking forward to working in the medical field because I want to help others and hopefully make a difference in the world. 

How does that compare to what you wanted to be when you were young? 

When I was young, I wanted to be a doctor like my mom, but I chose nursing because I wanted to be able to spend more time with the patients and care for them during their time at the hospital. I also like that with nursing there are several avenues to go from there in the field.

What is your favorite thing about being a part of the Pioneers family? 

Definitely the new people and friends I get to meet. Everyone is so welcoming, and it really feels like a big family. It’s also nice to be around people that share the same values as I do.

Where is your favorite place in the world? 

Any nice beach honestly. I don’t really have a specific place that is my favorite, but I absolutely love the beach. 

What show are you bingeing these days? 

I am currently bingeing Criminal Minds, but I have watched Friends, The Office, and New Girl several times.

What is something you’re passionate about? 

I love to play soccer and I am really looking forward to hopefully playing this season 🙂

Recommend a place to go in the Bay Area on a weekend 

I love trying new foods so I’ll recommend this taco place in San Jose called Spartan Taco!
