I'm excited to announce the launch of my new —Q&A Thursdays—where I'll answer your burning questions on a regular basis. This time, it's just me, tackling three thought-provoking questions from pharmacy students I met at the BPSA conference, all while sharing intimate glimpses into my own journey: Which sector is right for me? I urge listeners to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery, much like the one I traversed. Reflecting on what sparks joy, where your skills shine brightest, and what values drive you can profoundly shape your career trajectory. I draw from my own experiences to illustrate the importance of exploring passions and aligning them with career choices. How do I balance work with extracurricular activities and home life? Getting personal, I share my own tried-and-true strategies for maintaining equilibrium. From prioritising health to meticulous scheduling, I've learned firsthand that self-care is non-negotiable. I also emphasise the significance of cultivating supportive relationships and recognising when work demands more attention. What's the best way to break into academia as a pharmacist? Leveraging my journey, I suggest immersing yourself in educational endeavours and training opportunities. Whether it's mentoring students or engaging in teaching sessions, exposure to academia is invaluable. I recount my transition into academia and underscore the value of transferable skills.
