As someone who suffers from chronic migraines, TCOP P1 Samantha Ozeran was naturally curious about medication. “I looked at the medications I took and realized that some of them were anti-seizure medications whose side-effects stopped migraines,” she said. “It amazed me that I was taking a medication for its side effect.”

She considered becoming a physician like her brother, but her interest in medication and pharmacy school eventually won out. “It just kinda fell into place,” she said. She is also excited about living in New York. “I figured it would be one of the only times I’d get to live in New York,” said Ozeran. Another positive thing about New York compared to traffic-filled LA? “I don’t have to own a car.”

Fun Fact: She’s a sucker for puppies. Good thing she lives next to Central Park. “I saw four golden retrievers one day. It made my day.”
