Julia is a third-year student pharmacist from the Medical University of South Carolina. Julia grew up in New York and moved to Charleston, South Carolina in 2018 when she began her undergraduate degree in Biology at the College of Charleston. Since 2018, Julia has gained valuable experience in the community through work with an independent pharmacy, where her passion for patient care first began. She has also volunteered at outpatient clinics for underserved populations, including Palmetto Palace, a mobile unit in South Carolina. These experiences have deepened her commitment to patient care, and she aspires to one day serve as an ambulatory care pharmacist. During Julia’s time in pharmacy school, she has served as the local APhA-ASP chapter president, where she has made concerted efforts to engage students and promote advocacy initiatives. Julia also maintains involvement in her state association, SCPhA, formerly as a student delegate and currently as a Junior Board Member, which provides exposure to policies and the importance of advocating for the rights of pharmacists locally, regionally, and nationally. She is a proud member of Rho Chi Pharmacy Honor Society and serves as the local secretary/treasurer of Phi Lambda Sigma Leadership Society. As she looks ahead to her final year in pharmacy school, Julia remains eager to further her leadership, advocacy, and clinical expertise to make a meaningful difference in healthcare.
