Summary

As a 5th-year pharmacy student, I am deeply passionate about understanding the causes of neuropsychiatric and substance use disorders, along by managing and advancing their pharmacotherapy. My current focus is on managing nicotine withdrawal syndrome as part of my graduation project. I aim to channel my education and enthusiasm to explore advancements in mental health care and addiction management.
To me this is an intersectional path that allows me to challenge and expand my pharmacy knowledge while making a meaningful contribution to society. I am driven by a commitment to solving complex patient care challenges, particularly in psychiatric and addiction contexts, where improving therapeutic outcomes brings me immense gratification. With an active personality, relentless curiosity and a strong problem-solving mindset, I am dedicated to advancing mental health and well-being through innovative, evidence-based approaches.
