I will never forget the fall 2008, I walked into Professor Zoheir Farhat’s office for the first time. Unbeknownst to me, it was only the beginning of a long eventful journey together of scientific discoveries and endeavors. I am truly grateful to have him not only as my M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. supervisor, but also as my mentor, philosopher and guardian for more than the last seven years of my life. There is so much to learn from him, the most valuable of which I found was to approach research

    For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to attend North Dakota State University. My dad and sister are NDSU alumni, so furthering my education where they did provides us with a unique bond.

Although I know the next seven years are going to be challenging, extremely strenuous, and will push me to the edge of my comfort zone, the satisfaction of administering medical services to those who need them will make it worthwhile. Not only will I be able to care for others with a Pharm.…
