I am a fifth year Bachelor of Pharmacy and Management (Honours) student studying at the University of Sydney. My research interest lies in geriatric medicine. Specifically, I am interested in improving the safety of medication use among older adults. This year, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with a team of supervisors from the Kolling Institute at Royal North Shore Hospital and the University of Sydney School of Pharmacy. Their guidance has been instrumental in developing my systematic review and final thesis on the continuity of in-hospital deprescribing after discharge. In addition to my research interests, I enjoy working as a pharmacy student at my local community pharmacy.
