Hey guys! I'm so excited to serve as the president of PPS this year! I joined PPS in my second year and I've loved getting to explore the different fields of pharmacy, speak to pharamcists in varying fields and participate in our mentorship program. This club has introduced me to so many wonderful people and I'm excited to meet many more this year!

Hey!!  I’m so excited to serve as PPS’s External Vice President this year! I’ve been a part of PPS since my freshman year, and it’s been such a big part of my college experience. Through workshops, speaker events, and hands-on opportunities, I’ve learned so much about the pharmacy field and what path I want to take for my future.
One of my favorite things about PPS is how welcoming and supportive our community is.  As EVP, I’m looking forward to connecting PPS with even more opportunities outside our club and helping members get involved in the pharmacy community on and off campus.  I can’t wait to meet all of our new members soon, hear about your goals, and make this year one to remember. Here’s to another amazing year with PPS!

Hey guys, I'm super excited to be PPS's social chair this year, and I hope you are too! After actively partaking in PPS last year, I realized this was definitely a club I wanted to stay in for the rest of my undergrad years. There's also so much to learn about and mentors to learn from, and I truly made some of the most amazing friends in the club who literally make my week. I say don't hesitate to come along and attend a meeting, even halfway through the year, cause you never know what might inspire you and who you might meet! <3

Hi everyone!! I am so thrilled to be PPS's webmaster this year! I've been a part of PPS since my freshman year, and I've never regretted joining this amazing club.

Hey everyone! I am so stocked to be your IVP this year. PPS has held a special place in my heart ever since I joined as a member my sophomore year, and I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to continue serving its members and help them navigate their pharmacy journey. PPS has not only opened my eyes to the countless career paths pharmacy offers but has given me the resources to explore those paths and find the one for me. I am so excited for the year to come and cannot wait to see you all soon!

Hi everyone!! I'm so excited to be your Co-Treasurer for PPS this year!! Having been a part of the club since my first year, the amount of new information I've gotten surrounding pharmacy has only grown with my time here. Through all the different routes you can take with your PharmD even I haven't settled down on a specific field of interest yet, and we may have that in common. PPS offers a community where it welcomes members with varying interests in pharmacy, and that's the beauty of it because we may not know where the future takes us. But with medication being the gateway to controlling and preventing illnesses, I'd say pre-pharmacy is a great way to help the communities I call home. I can't wait to meet y'all, and I'll see you at general meetings!!
