After graduation, I undertook a 52-week General Pharmaceutical Council Pharmacist Pre-registration Programme followed by an exam in order to quality as a pharmacist in the U.K. I passed the exam in July 2011 and am currently working as a community pharmacist. The satisfaction of working in the community over the last five years, as a pharmacy student and how a pharmacist has been about using my scientific knowledge to educate patients about their medication and general health. Keeping the motto of St. Stephen's School, "Semper Sursum" always in mind, I aspire to work as a pharmacist in the pharmaceutical industry in the near future.

The success that all three of us have achieved to date, academically and as citizens, is as a result of the excellent foundation and culture we managed to secure through our education at St. Stephens.
