UConn School of Pharmacy

I grew up in Bristol, Connecticut. I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy Studies in May 2016. I am currently in my third year of pharmacy school and I work as a pharmacy technician at Manchester Memorial Hospital.

The Urban Service Track will provide me with a unique and unparalleled learning experience that will serve to improve my abilities as a future healthcare professional. I look forward to applying the knowledge that I have obtained in the classroom to the real-world, while helping underserved populations. In addition, as a UST scholar, I will have the opportunity to work with students who are enrolled in other professional programs. This interprofessional experience is something that I cannot gain from the pharmacy curriculum alone. I believe that all healthcare professionals should work as a team in order to provide the best possible care to each and every patient. The Urban Service Track will allow me to develop the skills necessary to be an effective member of an interprofessional team in the future. I cannot think of a better way to apply myself as a pharmacy student, than to provide services and help to communities who need it most, as a UST scholar.
