Meet the Mentor: Christian Porcu

My name is Christian Porcu and I am a fifth-year Pharmacy Major with a Minor in Social Justice Theory. I am part of many organizations both on and off campus, but the most notable are Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity and the Scouts of America. I am a proud Eagle Scout with Troop 19 and just graduated the Ozanam Scholar’s program here at St. John’s University after conducting a Capstone Project targeted towards food insecurity for college students on campus.

I look forward to embarking on my rotations next year as my interests in pharmacy have always been debated. I have an interest in pursuing a specialty form of pharmacy, so residency is in question, but undergoing a fellowship sounds very intriguing to me as well. I am eager to begin experiential learning so I can more confidently find my pharmacy fit.

My favorite thing to do is travel, visit new countries, embrace other cultures, and make new friends along the way. I am currently learning Danish as being bilingual was always something I have coveted. I also like to embrace myself with various media, mostly Marvel, Nintendo, and Survivor, as I am the biggest nerd when it comes to this “trifecta”.
