Ruth Adeyemi
“Wherever I find myself, I’m always looking for opportunities to promote and advance underserved communities.“
Alyssa Falleni, PharmD
“I want to be able to be present. I don’t want to have the fear of not having enough or running out. That is not what I want for my future. I am trying to be very intentional in making these decisions to set me up and keep me on that path that I want for my future.“
Perrigrine Garner
“Just thinking of my kids and knowing I went into this to better the lives of my children and better the lives of other people with disabilities, that’s just what kept me focused.“
Ai Len Nguyen Phan, PharmD
“I am really focusing on what are my goals now. What are the long term goals? And working towards them has gotten me to where I am today. Going from learning English to being a first generation in college. For me, it’s always been setting goals and working really hard toward them.“
Momi Talukdar, MS, PharmD
“When I was an APPE student, I had the mentality that I was an employee. And now that I’m an employee, I have the mentality of a student, and this way I always like to learn, and I always like to be in a growth mindset.“
Mildred Asamoah, PharmD, MBS
“I would be able to touch more people, in my opinion, by going into pharma and helping with medication access as opposed to being one physician and trying to see as many patients as possible, so that’s what drove me to pharmacy.”
Julia Miller, PharmD
“We go through so much schooling that I think the majority of the population doesn’t realize all the skill sets that we have coming out, and I think it’s a passion of mine to continue to educate of what we can bring to the table.”
Deja Preusser
“While I was doing my undergraduate studies, I was in a healthcare desert. I had to travel at minimum two hours to find access to just a primary care physician, and that can be very limiting for patients on top of the cost to just access that type of care. I’m interested in providing that accessibility, minimizing those costs for patients. And I think increasing the accessibility to drugs through manufacturing is just one aspect that I can contribute to that.”
Zipporah Williams, PharmD
“I was looking through the list of healthcare professions and I said, I think I can do this. And so that freshman year at USC I went and got a job at Publix doing retail pharmacy, and I really fell in love with the patient interaction. I fell in love with learning about all the medications and just how far you could really take the position.”
Michaela Martin-Worley
“I don’t want to say that I chose pharmacy. I chose people, and pharmacy is just one of the ways in which I want to show up for people and for patients.”
