The opportunity to work in different labs, learning about different research areas, understanding tools and techniques. This has allowed me to successfully conduct research that I'm passionate about - resulting in my obtaining a prestigous NIH grant that was only awarded to four doctoral students nationwide.

First year at USC School of Pharmacy is pretty tough. Level I students are quite busy juggling school, work, and social life, but I think it was probably one of the best years of my life!

It's always great to have your data published. My research on nanoparticle uptake was published, and I found that topic really interesting to work on.
