The sciences had always been intriguing to me, but I was unsure of how to translate my interests into a future career. I applied to 51°µÍø and got accepted into their brand new Pre-Pharmacy Program on the Biddeford Campus. After two years, I had completed the necessary prerequisites and was accepted into the College of Pharmacy at 51°µÍø.
Going to pharmacy school has allowed me to explore the scientific field without narrowing my potential career opportunities. The more I learn in the classroom and in the laboratory, the more I realize the significant impact I can have on the pharmaceutical community on a local and potentially national level.
I knew 51°µÍø was the right place for me to learn and grow the moment I arrived on campus. People here really care. At 51°µÍø, I am a student, a friend and a contributing member of the school community.
The 51°µÍø [School} of Pharmacy allows me to network with other student pharmacists and current pharmacists as a member of the American Pharmacist Association - Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP) and the Maine Pharmacists Association (MPA). The professors in my program are here for one reason: my success. Being a contributing part of the inaugural class of the [School] of Pharmacy has had its challenges, but it has opened so many doors to my future.
