Hi there! We are the QPSA social representatives for 2022! To make up for our socially deprived past few years, QPSA is ready to jam pack 2022 with many social events. What better way for us to do that than to kick off with a launch party! Not to mention, the very much anticipated Pharmacy Ball will definitely be making a comeback. These are just a selection of some of the many events we have in the works for this year. To finally be able to bring us all back together again should make 2022 one to remember! If there’s an event you’d like to see us hold or have any suggestions please send us an email at social@qpsa.com.au. I cannot wait to see you all throughout the year!

Fourth Year Representatives
Jade Wallace & Mido Kim
Hi everyone! We are both so excited to be the 4th year representatives this year. Fourth year pharmacy can be an intense time – the last year of university, split between those doing majors projects and those who aren’t, placements, internship preparation, there’s so much to remember! Across our little team we cover both tracks to completing your fourth year and thus our weekly announcements on the Facebook page will be thorough for everyone. We would love to have as much engagement as possible during our last year together and are very excited to connect with students and staff at QPSA events and passing by each other at PACE. We look forward to a fantastic final year!
Third Year Representatives
Isabella Bautista & Maryam
Hi everyone, we are the third-year representatives for 2022! Our cohort had a rough start to our university journey (starting our degree during the onset of a pandemic is not something that we saw coming), but we are here to help provide support and guidance with any of your coursework needs! With the amount of content ramping up, we hope our weekly announcements help keep everybody on track. As we go into our final years of Pharmacy, we would love to have more engagement across our year level, so please say hi if you see us around!
Second Year Representatives
Hunter Alker & Zina Dorado
My name is Hunter, and this is Zina, and we are both excited to be your second-year representatives for this year! Things start to get a bit harder in second year and it can be stressful trying to keep on top of stuff, so we are here to help you guys through our weekly announcements on the Facebook page. We also want to help your opinions be heard through liaising with the school and communicating your thoughts! After COVID preventing some events in the last few years, we would love to engage with you all at the many QPSA events this year during uni. Hopefully, we can all make this an amazing year, and feel free to say hi to either of us when you see us around PACE or St Lucia!
