"My passion for pharmacy really bloomed in high school, when my younger brother was in need of many medications at a young age and I watched how they changed his quality of life for the better. As I progressed through pharmacy school, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the research and development of new drugs to help shape outcomes for patients. My passion continues to grow for cancer treatments and your program is the best fit for my future goals."
