“I wanted to be in a place where I could get my undergraduate degree and Pharm.D in the same place, so that is why I chose Xavier”

“I chose pharmacy because it was direct way to help people in the community and I got to go to school for 6 years instead of 8 to be a doctor, so yeah, pharmacy is definitely the way to go.

“I think when you come here, you may have a goal in mind. However, those things will be amplified, and things you didn’t even know were inside of you will be brought to light. So I know the people here, the culture that HBCUs bring to life makes this a magical place.”
