Why did you join CAPSI?
Through the work I’ve seen CAPSI do in many areas advocating for what’s in the best interest of our profession and the members that we serve, and seeing those close to me be part of something so special inspired me to step up in my own way – through visuals; amplifying CAPSI and the voices of students and interns across Canada!
If you were to name something living in your possession (eg. baby, pet, etc) after a drug what would you choose?
I would name a Shiba Inu Dobutamine, DobuDobu as a nickname. Like it HAS to be a Shiba or else. I could also get behind naming a child Truvada, Trudy for short?
