Get to know Olivia:

Why did you choose pre-pharmacy at Mizzou?

I chose to major in pre-pharmacy because pharmacists get to be hands-on in patient care while avoiding exposure to bodily fluids. I have always been super interested in healthcare and disease states, and as a pharmacist, I get to focus on managing those disease states and be involved in creating patient care plans. 

How would you describe the College of Health Sciences community to a prospective student?

The College of Health Sciences community is very helpful and informative. I have had a phenomenal experience with my advisor and professors. They’ve been really helpful in providing me with resources and points of contact for different shadowing and learning experiences. 

Why should future students choose Mizzou?

Future students should choose Mizzou because there are so many opportunities that this University has to offer. From clubs and organizations to sporting events to experiential learning, there is something for every student here. I’m involved in Mizzou’s Pre-Pharmacy Club and have attended so many events that pertain to my major, hobbies, and interests!
