Degree: Bachelor of Pharmacy

Year: Second

Why pharmacy? With chemistry and biology as my favourite subjects in high school, I really wanted to study a science-based course. Pharmacy was attractive because I’d have the chance to interact with people, and to work in health. What I found most appealing, however, is the fact that pharmacy offers an abundance of options. Retail, hospital, industry, research or academia - at the end of the day, which pathway(s) you pursue is entirely up to you!

What's the best thing about your degree? No doubt about it, pharmacy is a tough course. But I think that’s one of the things I like about it. The subjects are interesting, the labs are fun and the work is stimulating!

I'm a member of... This year I have taken up the role of treasurer for the Victorian Pharmacy Students’ Association  (VPSA), an organisation which aims to provide the link between pharmacy students and the pharmacy profession.

I am also a committee member of Remedy, which is concerned with international health, in particular, pharmacy issues in the developing world.
