Current Residents

Hi everyone! My name is Lyndy Abdelsayed. I grew up in Orangevale, CA, a small town in the greater Sacramento area. I attended UC Davis for my undergraduate degree, majoring in Animal Science. After working in veterinary medicine for several years, I decided to pursue pharmacy school at Midwestern University in Phoenix, AZ. My current interests are Critical Care and Emergency Medicine. I’m really enjoying my rotations and getting to know the people at UC Davis Medical Center. Everyone here is so kind and supportive! I also appreciate having a large resident class because it means having many friends and a strong support system. In my free time, I love running, hiking, paddleboarding, or just about anything outdoors.

Hey everyone! My name is Nick Gutierrez. I grew up in Roseville, CA, which is a city near Sacramento. I attended Sierra community college for 3 years and then completed 1 year of undergrad at UC Davis working towards a Biological Sciences degree. I then completed my PharmD at UCSF School of Pharmacy and grew a passion for pediatrics during my APPE year. My favorite part about residency is meeting all my coresidents and preceptors. They are all super nice and supportive! Outside of pharmacy I enjoy playing ice hockey and golfing, building legos, and hanging out with friends and family.

Hi! My name is Kevin Lin, and I am originally from Novi, Michigan. I attended Purdue University for my undergraduate studies, where I was enrolled in their pre-pharmacy program, and I completed my PharmD at the University of Michigan. I have always had a passion for direct patient care and collaborative practice styles, which drew me towards acute care. I was fortunate enough to take on a Heme/Onc rotation during my APPEs, which sparked my interest in pursuing a PGY2 in the field. Having no connections to California or UC Davis, it was a scary adjustment overall. However, I must say that I couldn't have asked for a better residency class. Each resident here truly embodies the definition of "individuality" because everyone is so different and amazing at the same time. The other common denominator is that each person embodies is compassion. During my off time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, playing basketball, volleyball, hip-hop dancing, and exploring.

Hi there! My name is Jordyn Fohner, soon to be changing that to my married name- Sacauskas :) I grew up in a tiny town called LaCygne, Kansas. My grandpa was a pharmacist, so this inspired me to pursue pharmacy! I attended a small college in Ohio called Cedarville University for undergraduate and graduate studies. I hope that people can see from my growing up years that things can get better and to always pursue your passions no matter the challenges set before you. One of my mentors in pharmacy school had me read a book called, "The Obstacle is the Way," and now that is one of my favorite mottos. My passion area in pharmacy has got to be serving underserved communities- specifically individuals living with HIV and individuals receiving gender affirming health care. I have a desire to serve my own community so this definitely aligns well. My favorite part about residency thus far as been settling in and meeting my other coresidents! They all seem so sweet and fun. It also has been so fun coming from Ohio to California and getting to experience the new culture and foods California has to offer. Things I like to do outside of the pharmacy world involve being outdoors, hanging out with my 3-year old dog, Zola, and trying to go on as many adventures to new places and new restaurants as possible.
