Follow your dreams
As a teenager, I was fascinated by the complexity of medicines and their impact on health, sparking a curiosity about the science behind pharmaceuticals. When I began my M.Pharm studies, I was drawn to the process of unraveling the intricate details of drug development: analyzing research, experimenting with formulations, and applying theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. What solidified my passion for pharmacy was discovering its profound ability to improve lives, offering solutions to health challenges through a combination of scientific rigor and innovative thinking.
Since childhood, I’ve been passionate about medicine and pharmaceuticals, dreaming of contributing to healthcare. During my M.Pharm studies, I faced moments of doubt, questioning whether I had the resilience to continue in this demanding field. A pivotal conversation with a professor, who shared her own struggles and how she overcame them, reignited my confidence. Her openness and encouragement reminded me that challenges are part of the journey, and with determination, I could pursue my goal of making a meaningful impact in the pharmaceutical field.

Creating an inclusive working environment
I strongly believe that fostering an inclusive working environment is essential for collective success. This goes beyond being an economic advantage; it is a moral obligation to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute and thrive. I believe people naturally have the potential to make a difference, but they need a supportive environment that nurtures their growth. For me, this means cultivating a culture of psychological safety and fostering relationships based on empathy, respect, and trust. By doing so, we create a space where everyone is empowered to succeed together.

Women in Pharmaceutical Industry : Exciting Careers
A few years ago, a group of women in pharmacy and healthcare came together to create a platform aimed at inspiring women at all stages of their careers—whether they’re just starting out, returning, or pivoting. By sharing personal stories and insights from women who have paved their own paths, the goal is to build a supportive community of role models. This initiative empowers women to embrace their unique journeys, spark curiosity, and feel confident in pharmaceutical and healthcare fields. It’s here to inspire, support, and celebrate the women shaping the future of pharmacy and healthcare.
Instead of the common advice to "follow your dreams," I would say: remain curious, explore what truly captivates you, and align your pursuits with your values. Build connections with others and surround yourself with supportive companions and allies.
