For our September membership spotlight, we are thrilled to introduce you to Randall Andres. Randall is currently a P3 at CNUCOP, one our student representatives, and CNU's APhA-ASP co-president. Please see his answers to some questions below to learn more about him.
1. How long have you been a member of CPhA/SVPhA?
• This is my 3rd year as a member of CPhA/SVPhA.
2. How do you define success?
• I define success as doing the best that one can do and growing from it.
3. What do you enjoy most about pharmacy?
• I enjoy being able to help patients live healthier lives, whether through the teaching opportunities provided during patient counseling, or in the conversations about the importance of their maintenance medications when speaking to them about adherence.
4. What can you not live without?
• I cannot live without the love and support of my family. With the stresses of pharmacy school and work, it would be hard to imagine how I could handle it without my wife to help support and encourage me to push forward, and my son to motivate me to be better for their sake.
5. Why did you originally pursue pharmacy?
• I joined pharmacy as a means to understand medicine better and help my parents and grandparents to use medications more safely. Coming from a family without much medical understanding, but requiring multiple maintenance medications, I wanted to be a better resource for them and others like them.
6. What do you like to do on your spare time?
• I like to spend time with my 6-month-old son and my wife either at home or travelling.
