Nicole Olan

I'm a fourth-year Doctor of Pharmacy (P4) student with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science and a strong foundation in healthcare, customer service, and community outreach. I have hands-on experience in both pharmacy and clinical settings, as well as in customer-facing roles that have strengthened my communication, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. I'm passionate about patient education, medication safety, and making a positive impact in underserved communities. Bilingual in Spanish and English, I value connecting with diverse populations to improve health outcomes.
