What first got you interested in your field of choice?

I always wanted to pursue a career in the healthcare field and potentially work in the hospital. Therefore, I had set my goals on being a scientist or doctor. I really enjoy biochemistry, especially the notion of different processes that help our body function and how it can be affected. So, I decided to pursue pharmacy so that I may better understand how our body’s processes respond to drugs, how drugs can help or harm our bodies, and use that knowledge to help those in need, in a clinical setting.
