Hey everyone, my name's Matt. I'm a 4th year Pharm.D. candidate at St. John's University and I was raised in the heart of Queens, in Elmhurst. Growing up in an extremely ethnically diverse region has taught me many vital lessons pertaining to patient care and advocacy. Learning to understand the cultures and values that each patient has in addition to their medical history is something that has dramatically fueled my passion for pharmacy. It's not just about dispensing medications to a someone, but it's about helping them draw the most effective benefit while reducing any potential drawbacks in the most efficient way possible. On my first APPE rotation, I worked virtually with Dr. Jennifer Bhuiyan on the homeless and undocumented population, who didn't have proper health benefits or insurance. The process of getting to know these often underserved and overlooked patients really lit a fire in me to advocate for alternative ways to help access quality care at a price range that's reasonably sound. I've worked face-to-face with many patients in my community as an intern at Walgreens pharmacy for 4 years, and now I'm discovering the world of hospital pharmacy at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. From these experiences I've witnessed the major discrepancies and disparities in different health care models and delivery systems, along with the lack of communication between various sectors of healthcare. These factors are only one of many that have led to such drastic hikes in health care costs over the years in the U.S. and it certainly calls for a complete haul-over. As I transition to become a pharmacist in the future, addressing these issues will be a primary focus for me. I'm extremely excited to work with The SocioEsthetician and I hope to amass more understanding to aid my development and growth as a leader in the healthcare field.

Hello everone,
My name is Fateha Chowdhury and I am a pharmacy candidate of class 2024. This is currently my 9th rotation out of 11, so with my excitement to almost be done, I am also very scared. 2024 is going to be the year where I go through the most change with school, career, and maybe other things in life like finding a life partner. As a brown girl, it is expected to settle soon after graduation, but thats another journey I am yet to explore. In the meantime, I am focused on studying for the Naplex, job applications, growing my network, maintaining my social life with friends and family, and keeping enough time set aside for myself to remember to self pamper/spoil with skincare, hair, nails, and to stay in touch with my feminine side in general. I also have a passion for dance, particularly in Bollywood/Indian dance. I made it to the SJU RAAZ dance team which is a girl group indian dance team back in my sophmore year of college, but did not join due to school and work. But now that I have some spare time, I started taking dance classes in the city that reconnected me and my love to dance. I forgot how it serves as an outlet to me to get away fom reality and just feel the music speak to me even if it is for 2 hrs. Career wise, I am still figuring out what I want to do. As much as I wanted to stay away from retail pharmacy, chain retail in specific, it looks like that's where I may be headed first for a year or 2 and I am learning to be okay with that. I eventually want to work for corporate pharmacy health systems and it is important that I know what it means to be in the shoes of all pharmacists I would be representaing, retail and hospital both. I am known to be social, funny, a leader, team cheerleader, adaptive and more. With all the different rotations I've been put in, the biggest take away is that you can have fun doing what you do in any environment through means of pespective and having a positive attitude. Little things like waking up/sleeping early and having a healthy breakfast make a big difference on how you start about your day. But yea, thats a little bit about me... as you can see I went off on some tangents and thats me in real life too! I just want to to be able to make an impact whereever I go and put my pharmD to use to help our community grow, not just for patients but for the health system in itself!
