Meet Samuel!πŸ‘‹πŸŽ“ As a military child, Samuel experienced hardships like moving often and having to learn a different language while he and his family lived in Korea. However, he attributes these life lessons with preparing him for hurdles that would soon come his way. Because he had seen both parents become dependent on medication due to chronic illnesses, he saw the importance that medicine can have on the body. This led to his interest in pharmacology and why he β€œwanted to understand how medicine helps the body and promote healing β€” both for my parents and for others facing similar challenges.”
