Why did you choose this career/study programme?

When I was a child I dreamed with become in a sciences teacher, but it changed as I grew because I noticed that I don’t have patience to teach.  But it doesn’t mean that I thought in leave this area, so I began to think in what I could study. In my options appeared “medical technology”, “Chemical engineering” and “Chemistry and Pharmacy” until I decided to study the last option because I love chemistry and I really wanted to know what was the effect of drugs in the people.

Now as a university student, it has been a really interesting challenge because I have to give my 100% to understand the subjects and to have good marks in evaluations, but I like it.

When I finish my career, I would like to work in a laboratory investigating new drugs or making it.

God save the drugs.

Who Am I?

Hello, my name is Matías Vallejos, but most people know me like “Parker”. I´m 18 years old and I study chemistry and pharmacy at Universidad de Chile. Besides, Fridays and Saturdays I work as a waiter in Santa Catalina, Chicureo and I love this job because you can meet famous people.

I was born in Santiago, but I have lived in Colina since I was 9 years old. There I went to Instituto Chacabuco, where I met very interesting persons, like my old band, my old volleyball team and my best friends.

In my free time I like to play guitar and bass, and make different music styles.  I don’t have a favorite music style because I like all of them but when I was in a band we tried to play Rock (We tried)
