Throughout my student pharmacist experience thus far, I’ve felt blessed to have participated in opportunities that broadened my appreciation for the profession and helped me form incredible connections and friendships along the way.

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.

My favorite memories so far have been with APhA–ASP and all the wonderful student pharmacists who I have met through the organization.

Some of my favorite memories during my time as a student pharmacist include attending extracurricular activities hosted by our professional student organizations.

When someone is learning to ice skate, one of the first things they learn is to fall. If you’re not willing to fall, you’ll never have the chance to learn how to stand up and improve.
