I am currently a fourth year student at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy on the Orlando campus working towards my pharmacy degree. My passion for this career field was sparked from witnessing the relationship my hometown pharmacist shared with his patients. Years later, I now work for that same hometown pharmacy where I have gained experience with retail, long-term care, and compounding. Recently I also accepted a position as a pharmacy intern for AdventHealth Apopka! I also hold three leadership positions in three different organizations at school: historian of APhA-ASP, which focuses on patient advocacy; dispensary chair of Knights Clinic, which serves underserved patients in Orlando community; and vice president of Kappa Epsilon, a professional pharmacy fraternity. Last year I was philanthropy chair for my fraternity which concentrated on raising breast and ovarian cancer awareness. From these experiences so far, I have gained so much respect and love for the pharmacy field and am so excited to grow more as I take on these new roles.On top of these opportunities, I am very excited to explore the different areas in pharmacy! I hope to possibly study abroad or at least learn more about this profession overseas. As my husband and his family is from New Zealand, I have even more of an interest in traveling internationally and experiencing other cultures while also serving others!
