Hello, I’m Ijeoma Nnadozie, a 3rd-year PhD candidate and international student at KGI. I pursued a master’s degree in applied Life Sciences, graduating with honors on the Dean’s List. During my master’s program, I completed all core courses and selected electives, and I also served as a TA for courses such as ALS 402- Molecular Basis of Disease, ALS 407a – Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine, as well as GENE 340 Genetic Disease Mechanisms, GENE 5250 – Human Genetics and Human Genetics Lab.

Having faced the challenges of adapting to a new educational system as an international student, I am keenly aware of the struggles students may encounter. I am here to offer mentorship and support to both international and domestic students, helping them achieve academic excellence and develop crucial interpersonal skills. Feel free to approach me with any concerns about class content, presentations, assignments, or time management. My door is always open, and I am eager to contribute to the success of my fellow students at KGI.

Hello future Pharmacist, my name is Elizabeth Mejia and I’m a P3 at KGI. A little about myself I’m a very adventurous person, love hiking and going to concerts. I love to learn new things yet enjoy spreading my knowledge. I try to approach teaching differently since everyone’s perspective of learning is different. I’m great in PHAR 5310, 5311, & 5325. Most individuals struggle with 5315, which I can also be of help. I’m here to support you in your learning process and try my best to help you comprehend lecture materials. Look forward to helping you in any way I can. 😊
