| Pharmaceutical Business Alum“I always knew I wanted to be in healthcare in one form or the other since I was in high school. I also really wanted to go to college in a big city. Being from Maine, Boston seemed like the perfect spot. I quickly understood that being on the pharmaceutical industry side of things was where I wanted to be, and MCPHS had many program opportunities.”
