Our amazing student liaison!
I joined DAPA as a P1 student and immediately felt a strong connection to the organization. From the very beginning, I felt genuinely supported, like the members and pharmacists truly cared about me as a student and wanted to help in any way they could. It was refreshing to build relationships outside of my school environment while still being surrounded by inspiring pharmacists I could look up to and seek advice from. As I grew throughout pharmacy school, I also grew within DAPA, eventually stepping into the role of student liaison. I have loved helping plan events, contributing ideas, and having the opportunity to use my voice to make a meaningful impact. Now, as a graduating P4 student, I am proud of the difference I have been able to make and even more grateful for the friendships and mentorships I have gained along the way. DAPA has truly shaped my pharmacy school journey, and I will always value being part of such a supportive and empowering community.
