Nigel Sirois, Class of 2029

Hello and welcome to TCOP! I was born on Long Island and grew up in Southwestern Connecticut. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work in healthcare, as I had helped family members manage their chronic health conditions and found a deep fascination in the molecular basis of the human body. For my undergraduate degree, I attended Manhattanville University, majoring in biology and minoring in sociology and chemistry. During my time there I worked as a certified pharmacy technician at CVS in my hometown. I had found a love for the field of pharmacy, patient care, and patient advocacy during this time, and knew I wanted to pursue pharmacy as my career. Here at TCOP, I have been involved in publications, various school organizations, and many on-campus events, and am proud of the community I am a part of. 

As a member of the admissions ambassador program, I would love to share my experiences and guidance with incoming students, and to just chat! The prospect of beginning your doctorate degree can be frightening, and I’d like to help make this transitional period less stressful. During my free time, I enjoy sewing and mending clothes, drawing, being a nerd about birds and Transformers, and looking for good food spots around the city. Please reach out if you have any questions, I’d be happy to help.
