Following is what Pacifique had to say about the fellowship:

Greetings everyone, My name is Pacifique Uwiringiyimana, and I’m thrilled to be part of this fellowship cohort. Currently a senior at Northeastern Illinois University, I am majoring in Community Health and have gained valuable professional experience in various roles. I have worked as a Concierge at The Breakers at Edgewater Beach, where I built trusting relationships with clients facing cognitive difficulties, ensuring their safety and health by helping them with medication management and appointment coordination. Additionally, I have been actively involved as a student ambassador and a mentor in the FYE Peer Mentor program, where I have had the privilege of connecting with and supporting fellow students on their academic journeys. These experiences have deepened my passion for serving others and fostering well-being in communities. With my goal of becoming a pharmacist, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the health and education of communities. I am excited to learn from all of you and contribute my own unique experiences and perspectives to our fellowship cohort.
