Student Pharmacist
University of Mississippi
|
I am a dedicated and driven fourth-year pharmacy student at the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy, where I’ve developed a deep commitment to advancing patient care and clinical excellence. My journey began at Ole Miss as a freshman, and throughout my time here, my experience and expertise have continually evolved. This growth fuels my passion and readiness for the future, as I pursue becoming a highly skilled and compassionate pharmacist.
As an ISFJ personality type, I bring a methodical and forward-thinking approach to my work, aiming to anticipate needs and ensure preparedness. Guided by my Christian faith, I strive to bring empathy and integrity to patient-centered care, with a promise to respect and honor each patient’s beliefs and perspectives. My goal is to create meaningful impact in healthcare, knowing that positive change in one person’s life is as valuable as changing the world. Every day in my career, I aim to embody this vision—working diligently to support, heal, and make a difference in the lives of others.
