Jada Brown

Discipline and date of your BA or BS degree: B.S of Pharmacy Studies

What influenced your decision to pursue a Master of Public Health at UConn?: While pharmacy training equips me to manage drug therapy for individual patients, an MPH from UConn provides the population health tools needed to address the root causes of mental health medication non-adherence across communities by moving from bedside intervention to scalable, system wide solutions.
Background: Pharmacy focused and mental health advocacy
Life Outside Work and School: future CVS pharmacy intern, res life administrative assistant for Northwest on the Storrs Campus

Your immediate (next 1-5 years) career goals: complete my MPH, obtain and complete my PharmD, use my knowledge from both programs to become a psychiatric pharmacist and create spaces and programs to bolster medication management, mental health advocacy, better medication adherence and de stigmatizing mental health
