I am the International Pharmaceutical Students Federation Vice President (IPSF VP). I work closely with the Student Exchange Program and other events that focus on global health and awareness about health care problems.

My favorite memory in GEO was the meditation event last semester because it reminded me how important it was to take a break from school and stress and focus on your mental health.

My favorite restaurant in Chapel Hill is Mediterranean Deli on Franklin- so many different options to choose from!

The next country on my travel list is (hopefully) Portugal or Australia!
