Hi all! l live in New Jersey and I am of Nigerian heritage. I spent my undergrad years at Rutgers university, where I majored in biology and minored in chemistry. There I also interned as a research assistant and worked alongside professors. Science and health have always been my passion so I knew I would always find myself in this field. Having the opportunity to attend Touro College of Pharmacy has been a dream come true and such a huge step towards attaining my goal of becoming a healthcare provider. When I am not studying, you can find me watching movies, traveling, or catching up with friends. I am super excited to share with you all the tips and lessons I have learned thus far. Please feel free to reach out to me whenever. Wishing you all a great school year!

Hello and welcome! In addition to being a Doctor of Pharmacy candidate at TCOP, I am also enrolled in the Master of Public Health (MPH) program offered with New York Medical College through the PharmD/MPH collaborative program. Prior to joining TCOP, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from City College of New York with a Bachelor of Chemistry in 2021. During my undergraduate studies, I was determined to pursue a future in healthcare, so I became a certified pharmacy technician. As time progressed, I was fortunate enough to apply my knowledge as a Pharmacy Technician at CVS Pharmacy, a Patient-Care Coordinator at CareMed Specialty Pharmacy, then finally as a Pharmacy Technician at Walgreens Pharmacy. TCOP's faculty, diverse student body, and their dual-degree PharmD/MPH program are some of the many reasons why your pharmacy career would thrive at this institution. I am excited to have the opportunity to aid in your transition to TCOP, and I am always happy to help, please don't hesitate to reach out about anything, I'll always available to you guys.

Hi everyone! I love Touro and am very excited to be able to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for all the school has to offer. Coming from Massachusetts was a big transition for me, but with the help of the students and staff at Touro, I've felt so welcome and comfortable to learn and grow with my peers in pharmacy school. When I'm not studying, I enjoy doing yoga, exercising, and being outside. Iced Caramel Macchiatos are my favorite go-to drinks and add a boost of flavor to the start of my days. I am also trilingual and love learning new languages so that I may connect with others in their native tongue and immerse myself into other cultures. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about life at Touro and life as a pharmacy student. We've all been where you are now, trying to decide on the path ahead, and if I can help in any way, it would be my pleasure.

Hey guys, I'm from Bronx, New York and I came to Touro from Lehman College. Working as a Pharmacy Technician for more than 7 years has more than prepared me to take on pharmacy school. When I'm not studying or working you can find me playing video games and traveling. A bit controversial but I love pineapple on pizza! My experience at TCOP has been amazing so far. Being at a small school allows me to get to know everyone on a personal level and everyone is eager to lend a hand if you need. So if you need any advice, have any burning questions or just need to chat feel free to email me!

Hi everyone! I grew up here in New York and attended Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA where I studied Biology and Public Health. During my last two years of college, I worked as a pharmacy technician at CVS Pharmacy. Outside of school, I enjoy long walks, building Legos, and meeting all the dogs NYC has to offer. I look forward to experiencing more of TCOP by building connections with peers and faculty, and joining organizations around campus! I look forward to meeting you, and helping you on your pharmacy school journey!
Hi! I was born in Albania but raised in Brooklyn. I graduated Hunter College with a bachelor’s degree in Biology. Having over six years of pharmacy experience as a Certified Pharmacy Technician motivated me to pursue pharmacy as a lifelong career. Throughout my first year as a pharmacy student, I had the privilege of being a part of the Student Government Association where I represented my class. However, the most heartwarming title I have is being a mom. Being a mom, working, and a student has its challenges but being a part of Touro has made this much easier. I look forward to meeting you all in person and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.

Hi! Although my name is Sol I go by Selene. I am super excited to have reached my APPE rotations. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and always loved living in a big city. Prior to joining TCOP, I graduated Cum Laude from Hofstra University with a Bachelor of Exercise Science while being on the pre-med track.

Hello and welcome! I was born and raised in the Bay Area, California but moved to New York City to attend Touro College of Pharmacy. I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2017 and worked in Silicon Valley shortly after graduating. Although working in the field of tech was fun and exciting, I decided to pursue a career more catered to my passion for science, preventative medicine and giving back to my community as a culturally competent healthcare provider. It was very intimidating at first to change careers and go back to school after a long period of time but Touro provided me with the perfect resources and a tight-knit community needed to succeed in the field of pharmacy as a student. Please feel free to email me for any questions or advice you may need!

Hello everyone! Born and raised in New Jersey, starting school in NYC was a challenge for me but getting involved on campus and utilizing all the tools Touro offers allowed the transition to be smooth and effortless. In my free time, I enjoy going to sporting events, watching a film at the cinema, and going to the gym. I graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology with a biomedical engineering degree in 2018.

Welcome to Touro College of Pharmacy! The TCOP family and I are very excited to meet you as you embark upon your journey into the field of pharmacy with us.
I was born and raised in a small town in rural Guyana then moved to New York when I turned 18 years old. I have an AS in chemistry from the University of Guyana and a BSc in biology from Long Island University Brooklyn. I first discovered my passion for the field of pharmacy while working as a Pharmacy Technician Trainee at CVS Pharmacy. Since then, I have been a certified pharmacy technician for approximately 7 years in a variety of pharmacy settings, such as long-term care, specialty as well as hospital pharmacy at Cohen Children's Medical Center. My primary area of interest in the field is clinical pharmacy centered around pediatric specialization.
Some of the activities I enjoy during my downtime are weightlifting and restoring vintage furniture. Maintaining a healthy balance between these activities and my academic life has given me a chance to enjoy the journey through pharmacy school thus far.
I look forward to seeing you on campus. If you have any questions, concerns or need suggestions on how to navigate student life at TCOP, please feel free to contact me.

Hello and welcome to TCOP, my name is Dylan. I attended college at Stony Brook University however, during my junior year I left Stony Brook and my bachelor’s degree behind and transferred to TCOP. This created several obstacles for me to overcome and I’ve learned much from this experience.

I look forward to exciting you about the unique aspects of TCOP and providing you with support while you are here. Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns you may have.

Hi! I am proud to call Brooklyn my hometown. After graduating from Wesleyan University with a double major in Biology and Italian Studies, along with a minor in Chemistry, I spent one year exploring healthcare professions during which I had the opportunity to shadow a team of hospital pharmacists. Witnessing their commitment to ensuring the best possible patient care solidified my desire to pursue a career in pharmacy. I'm eager to further explore the wide array of pharmacy experiences that TCOP offers its students, starting right from the first year.
As a student ambassador here at Touro College of Pharmacy, I'm excited to share my experiences and insights with you. I understand the difficulties and rewards of starting a new academic chapter, especially in the vibrant environment of New York City.
