Impact of OLLU: OLLU has impacted my life by allowing me to learn from amazing professors, as well as providing me with life-long connections and friendships. I would not be able to achieve as much as I have (and will) without my experience here at OLLU. 

An important lesson learned: The biggest life lesson I’ve learned is that when times get tough, remember why you started. Never lose motivation because you will get there!

Plans for the future: I have been accepted into the PharmD program at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, and I have received the Dean’s Achievement Scholarship Award. I will be attending this upcoming fall. I plan to use my education and experiences from OLLU to propel me forward so I can be of service to my community as a bilingual pharmacist.
