My name is Samantha Schaaf, and I am a current P2 in pharmacy school. I completed my undergraduate degree this May through the EAP program with a minor in substance misuse and addiction. I am currently working as an intern at CVS and Nationwide Children's Outpatient Pharmacy, before becoming an intern I worked at CVS as a pharmacy technician and inventory specialist. I've been to Japan and England to perform Japanese drumming! I love the College of Pharmacy as the faculty and staff always want to ensure you have every resource you can to succeed. I am not sure exactly what I would like to do in the future, but I am interested in chemical dependency, psych, pediatrics, and clinical pharmacy. I love getting to help students find different things they are interested in and connecting them to great resources, also I enjoy reviewing resumes and CVs

My name is Farida Rezk and I am a 4th year PharmD/MS student. My M.S. is in Clinical Pharmacology and Clinical Trial Design. I graduated from OSU in 2021 with my B.S. in Biology and minors in pharmaceutical sciences and French. I started working as a pharmacy tech at Meijer before pharmacy school and I still work there as a pharmacy intern for a total of 5 years. I also work as a clinical implementation intern for a managed care company called Centene. I am very interested in pursuing a fellowship after pharmacy school. I also love to talk about untraditional paths within pharmacy because there's so much that you can do with a PharmD. Outside of pharmacy, I love swimming, cooking and trying new recipes, and traveling as much as I can!
