Favorite Part of ASHP Student Membership: My favorite part of being an ASHP student member is the leadership development and networking opportunities. ASHP has given me access to mentors, national-level involvement, and resources that have helped me grow both professionally and personally as a pharmacy student.

Favorite ASHP Memory: My favorite memory has been collaborating with student leaders from across the country through the Student Society Development Advisory Group. It’s been really rewarding to work on initiatives that directly support and empower student societies nationwide.
