What are your post-graduate plans?
Post-graduation, I’ll be completing a general PGY1 residency at the University of Michigan Health System!
What are you looking forward to post-graduation?
I think it will be exciting to be able to practice independently as a pharmacist, instead of just making suggestions. I’m also looking forward to exploring a diverse array of rotations and learning as much as I can.
How has your experience at UIC College of Pharmacy prepared you for what’s next in your career?
UIC has connected me with such amazing mentors! The pharmacists and staff at UIC are always providing unique opportunities for students like research and presentations and have always pushed me to get out of my comfort zone!
