Pharmacy Involvement: VP Sports for the Pharmacy Undergraduate Society , 3rd Year Representative for CAPSI

Educational background:
I am currently in second year pharmacy with 3 years of Chemistry at SFU.

Your interest in pharmacy:
Educating patients about their meds!

Favourite thing about pharmacy:
The people, straight and simple. I mean, the drugs are good too, along with the information we find out along the way. But in reality, it all leads back to the people. Think about it. Without great people you have no information, without that information, you can't make the drugs, without the drugs... well then, people in pharmacy would have nothing to do... subsequently, we all would be boring.

Fun factoid: I'm a proud owner of a dislocated shoulder, separated shoulders, several fractures and countless scars but no broken bones. i generally make bad decisions on weekend but I always wear a helmet (Mama didn't raise no foo).

My hair is now gone due to a razor accident, but imagine this picture without hair and you'll have no problems finding me (I'm usually in the PhUS lounge at noon).
