For me, my favorite pharmacy memories have been when I was allowed to collaborate with student pharmacists from across the country. From state meetings to the national conferences, I’ve enjoyed every interaction I’ve had with fellow student pharmacists—so much so that 3 other students and I founded the SoCal Pharmacy School Mixer in 2022 in order to provide yet another opportunity to collaborate and network.

Throughout my undergraduate experience, I silently settled with the fact that a career relating to psychology was impractical as I scattered classes for this major into my schedule that was heavily packed with prerequisites. By the sixth and final semester of my undergraduate degree, I looked at my bachelor’s degree as the end to one chapter and the start of another.
