Congratulations to all of our P4 sisters for graduating from URI College of Pharmacy this year! Here are a few sister spotlights to celebrate our graduating class of 2021.
Lauren Sittard
Post-graduation plans: 2 year residency program (PGY1/PGY2 Geriatrics) and Faculty Development Fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center St. Margaret Hospital
Most influential professor: Dr. Estus and Dr. Hume
Favorite college memory: ASCP annual meeting in Maryland
Favorite class: P3 Geriatrics Elective
Erin Foeri
Post-graduation plans: Walgreens in Charleston, South Carolina
Most influential professor: I was on rotation with Dr. Estus during a time where I did not know what I wanted to do with my future. She gave me so much guidance and advice, and helped me through so many difficult decisions. I was torn between residency and retail and she was so supportive during the interview season.
Favorite college memory: My favorite college memory was probably everything about living in Hillside. I had so much fun with my freshman year roommates and I was just so excited to live in such a great community. I knew that if I went into a study lounge I could ask anyone a question about school and they would help me out. I miss those days of living next to my best friends more than anything!
Favorite class: Self Care and Geriatrics electives
Kendra Walsh
Post-graduation plans: This August, I'm matriculating at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University to pursue an MD! I'm also going to get licensed as a pharmacist in Rhode Island to be able to work part-time during school!
Most influential professor: There's honestly too many people to name here--almost all of my professors have been amazing at URI! I hope to stay in contact with them throughout medical school and beyond! But if I had to name *just* one person, I think I would have to go with Dr. Jacobson. She graciously asked me to join her on the Community First Responder Program just as it was beginning and I was really able to take on a huge role in our research as well as outreach activities on the grant. The opportunities afforded to me through this work truly widened my perspectives on opioid-use disorder and how we all can take steps to mitigate the opioid epidemic in the United States. It's certainly something I will retain with me in my future practice as a physician.
Favorite college memory: I absolutely loved running campus events like Homecoming, Nearly Naked Mile, and Oozeball with the Student Alumni Association! Also, my time as an RA in Hillside Hall for three years was quite wild, too!
Favorite class: Without a doubt: Medicinal Plants with Dr. Seeram!
Elisa Sandonato
Post-graduation plans: CVS pharmacist
Favorite college memory: Freshman year in Hillside Hall as a PNM :)
Favorite class: Self Care
Kalyn Lazar
Post-graduation plans: PGY1 Residency at the Boston VA Healthcare System

Favorite class: Advanced GI/Endo
Erinn Mangona
Post-graduation plans: Community
Most influential professor: Rita Marcoux
Favorite college memory: Meeting my Big, Giovanna 🥺

Karlie Knobloch

Favorite college memory: My housemate barging into my room daily to get me to go watch the sunset with her at the beach regardless if it was the middle of winter or the middle of exams.
Favorite class: Pediatrics Elective
