Serving as the 2023–2024 Region 6 APhA–ASP Midyear Regional Meeting Coordinator. (MRMC) was an unforgettable experience. When I campaigned for the position during my second year of pharmacy school, I had not fully grasped the impact that this role would have on my life.

With the new year comes the thought of New Year’s resolutions. This time of year is one of my favorites as it brings the feeling of a fresh start and gives a gentle nudge to self-reflect on the year prior.

This past year was one of the best and most difficult years I have encountered thus far. It has been packed full of exciting opportunities, as I completed my third year of pharmacy school, faced a cavernous malformation diagnosis, got engaged, and began tackling my final year of school. In 2025, my life will be filled with even more changes, as I begin interviewing for inpatient-based residency programs in the Midwest and have to leave my home and friends of the past 6 years.
