Why did you join CAPSI?

I went to PDW 2023 in Saskatoon and had a lot of fun. Previously, I’ve done advocacy work for my class as their Class Representative. Through CAPSI, I want to continue advocating for pharmacy students, not only for those from my school, but from schools across Canada. I’ll also have the opportunity to go to future PDWs, so joining CAPSI was a no-brainer!

What drug are you and why?

I would be St John’s Wort, because I will interact with everyone and everything.
