Hey everyone! My name is Isaiah George and I'm from Mesquite, Texas. I graduated from Texas Tech with a degree in Microbiology, and now I'm a first-year medical student in the TTUHSC School of Medicine. I enjoy playing my bass guitar and playing ping pong in my free time. As a member of OLN, I have recognized the value of support that comes from pure generosity. OLN's vision to help alleviate financial hardship in unexpected or difficult circumstances highlights a unique niche of support for all TTUHSC students. The means and capacity of an organization to serve others well is seen in its widespread impact, and this is evident in OLN. Serving the highest well-being of others, even as a future medical professional, starts with where you are - I am grateful to play a small role in helping provide emergency funding through OLN that will generate a significant impact in the lives of my fellow TTUHSC students!

Another week, another amazing Our Legacy Now committee member. Meet one of our newest members, Brett!

Hi! My name is Brett Thigpen and I am a first year medical student at TTUHSC School of Medicine. I first came to Lubbock in 2018 to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from Texas Tech University, and I have been here ever since! I decided to join the OLN Committee to support my peers as we work towards graduate/professional degrees while juggling our lives and responsibilities. I would not be where I am today without the support and help of others, and I am glad to now be able to provide that same opportunity to my peers.

Meet another one of our long time Our Legacy Now committee members!

Howdy! I’m Bayli and I’m currently a 3rd year medical student at TTUHSC School of Medicine. I grew up in East Texas, studied biology at UT Austin, and then moved out west for medical school. Outside of medicine, my passions include running, dogs, puzzles, and all things fashion! I joined the OLN team because I wanted to help peers across my community in their time of need, and I felt like it would be a great platform in which I could support TTUHSC students like myself.

Meet another OLN committee member!
Each week we will introduce you to one of our amazing members that serves on our board to help other TTUHSC students.

My name is Amanda Key and I am a current MS3 in the TTUHSC School of Medicine. I am from Albuquerque, NM, and have three older siblings who have played a very significant role in my life. I went to TCU for undergrad where I swam and majored in biology with a double minor in chemistry and economics. I chose Tech for medical school because on my interview day, everyone I interacted with oozed kindness. The culture was unrivaled and offered the environment in which I wanted to train to be a physician. I joined the OLN board to be a part of an organization that demonstrated that kindness and generosity to fellow students. It is a unique privilege to be able to help those in a moment of need. I am honored to get to witness the impact that this organization has on so many students’ lives and careers.
