I am currently completing my pharmacy internship with SA Health, based mainly at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. I have always had a keen interest for maths, chemistry, and a career in health care. All of which naturally translated into a passion for pharmacy. I completed my Honors research project last year at the University of South Australia in collaboration with Charlotte Smith under the supervision of Dr Vijay Suppiah and Dr Natalie Soulsby. I am eager to see the future research in this space and I am incredibly excited to become a pharmacist and contribute to the pharmacy profession to help make a difference in patient lives.
