Sarah Warack

UConn School of Pharmacy, Class of 2018

I was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and raised in Fairfax County, Virginia. I graduated Langley High School in McLean, VA, in 2012 and will obtain a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Pharmaceutical Studies in May 2016.

In high school, I volunteered with animal rescue and feeding the homeless. At UConn I have been involved in Distressed Children and Infants International, which raises money to provide medical care to orphans and impoverished mothers in Bangladesh.

I believe that working interprofessionally in UST could provide the opportunity to learn far beyond what the UConn curriculum provides for two reasons—first, the ability to work hands on and use the knowledge I have gained in the classroom, and second, through the collaboration with students in other specialties and hearing how they have approached the same problem. I also believe that as a whole the experience will make my education much more immediately meaningful. It will be incredibly satisfying to go home from events knowing that I not only learned knowledge and skills I can continue to use throughout my career, but that I also made a lasting impact on someone’s health and life.
