Student Ambassadors

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. Currently I live in Nassau county and drive each day to Touro which provides me with many insights about commuting to TCOP that I’m happy to share. 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. When I'm not busy with my studies, you can often find me taking dance classes, staying active in the gym, or exploring the endless culinary delights that NYC has to offer. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if there's anything I can assist you with!

Hello! As an enthusiastic advocate for pharmacy education and a proud representative of my institution, I am deeply committed to making a meaningful impact in the field of healthcare. My journey into pharmacy started with a strong foundation in biology, which I pursued during my undergraduate years at CUNY-Lehman College. There, I cultivated my passion for the sciences, ultimately leading me to embark on this exciting path towards becoming a pharmacist. I embarked on my academic journey in the United States after relocating from Ghana, West Africa, where I spent my formative years. This cross-cultural experience has enriched my perspective and allowed me to appreciate the diversity of healthcare practices and needs worldwide. As an undergrad student, I dedicated myself to my studies, majoring in biology. This rigorous program not only provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the biological sciences but also instilled in me the importance of research, critical thinking, and a strong work ethic.

However, my path to pharmacy has been marked by a relentless pursuit of knowledge and a commitment to improving healthcare. As a pharmacy student, I am eager to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. I am proud of my Ghanaian heritage and grateful to Touro College of Pharmacy for the educational experiences that have shaped me into the passionate and dedicated pharmacy student I am today. My journey has just begun, and I look forward to the exciting adventures that pharmacy school and my future career will bring.

Welcome to Touro College of Pharmacy (TCOP)! I am a passionate, motivated, Pakistani-American pharmacy student here at the TCOP. I will soon pursue a Masters in Public Health (MPH) program offered with New York Medical College through the PharmD/MPH collaborative program along with a Masters in Business Administration program offered with the Touro College of Business in the near future. Before joining TCOP’s family, I graduated from City College of New York with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry in 2023 and I also became a certified pharmacy technician.
