I was born in Chicago, Illinois, but raised in Houston! I love swimming, reading, and spending quality time with my family. I’m a dog mom to an English Bulldog named Pakkun, who is my morning alarm at 7:00 am, always ready for his walk! I joined SNPhA to inspire and educate the community through my role as Mental Health Chair.
Fun Fact: I collect Yu-Gi-Oh! cards

Hello, my name is Vishwa Bhakta, and I am the mental health initiative lead for SNPhA. My hobbies are playing badminton, listening to music, and traveling. My interest in pharmacy was sparked by a desire to improve patient outcomes through medication management and a fascination with how drugs work in the body. The combination of helping others and my passion for pharmacy is what drew me to pharmacy. I joined SNPhA to be part of a community that aims to improve healthcare for underserved populations and to gain valuable experience in leadership and professional development. It also provided me with opportunities to network with peers and mentors who share a commitment to making a positive impact in the field of pharmacy.
Fun Fact: I can speak more than 3 languages.
