What inspired you to pursue a healthcare career, and how did your background and history factor into your career choice?
I was born and raised in Lebanon; a country that has been torn by instability for decades. Constant turmoil has taken its toll firsthand on limiting medical advancement and accessibility there. Watching people in my community and direct family suffer as a result has fueled my passion to pursue a career that sits at the intersection of healthcare, patient interaction, and community involvement. In addition, I viewed healthcare growing up as a form of service, selflessness, and dedication as I watched my dad offer free treatments for years to those in need at his dental clinic. I admired my dad鈥檚 commitment to putting patients鈥 well-being and staying true to the oath he made. This is why considering pharmacy as a career came easily to me. As a healthcare field that directly impacts patients鈥 lifestyles, contributes to their well-being, and involves heavy community and social interaction, pharmacy was directly in line with my professional and personal aspirations.
