Emily Seamans - Emily is currently in her fourth professional year as a pharmacy student at the University of Connecticut and will graduate with her PharmD in May! She grew up in Canaan, NH and has always felt New Hampshire is her true home, therefore plans to return here to begin her career upon graduation. During her time at UConn, she focused on a balance between extracurricular activities, volunteerism and academic achievement. Emily was the Treasurer and Captain of UConn’s Club Field Hockey team, held numerous leadership positions with the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, was the president of Phi Lambda Sigma Leadership Society and achieved academic standards deserving of induction into the Rho Chi Society. Through the Urban Service Track she was afforded opportunities to serve urban, underserved populations by promoting vaccinations, dental hygiene and other healthy decisions to community members young and old in the areas surrounding UConn. Emily completed her Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs) at Dartmouth Hitchcock, the Veterans Affairs hospitals in Vermont and Maine, an independent drug store in Georgia, and a rehabilitation facility in Arizona. These rotations exposed her to various patient populations and practice settings and helped her develop into a well-rounded (soon-to-be) pharmacist!
