Pre-Pharmacy Liaisons (Briding the GaP)
Email: uhsnphappaliaisons@gmail.com
The Bridging the Gap initiative aims to enrich the education of our members as well as providing a layered level of learning for mentorship between high school students, pre-pharmacy students, SNPhA members, and National Pharmaceutical Association (NPhA) members.
SNPhA’s Pre-Pharmacy Liaisons collaborate with the Pre-Pharmacy Association on campus to increase exposure to the field of pharmacy. They assist in preparing members for the application and interview process, providing resources and guidance to support their journey into pharmacy school.
Christian To
Hello, my name is Christian, and I am serving as the SNPhA PPA Liaison for the 2024-2025 academic year. I chose to pursue pharmacy school because I have a strong desire to help people in my community and want to ensure they have access to the best possible healthcare. Outside of my academic and professional interests, I enjoy playing basketball and spending quality time with friends over good food. I wanted to be PPA Liaison because PPA helped me a lot during my transition from undergrad to pharmacy school, and I want to give back by helping pre-pharmacy students pursue their goals. I am excited to make a positive impact for SNPhA this year.
Fun Fact: I went on a cruise to Mexico over summer break

Hey y’all, I’m Matthew and I am a P1 with interests in pursuing a career in regulation and/or oncology. I joined SNPhA for its bright community, which has often inspired and helped me when I was an undergraduate. As a PPA Liaison, I hope to carry on SNPhA’s legacy of being helpful and inspiring to future pharmacy students! For hobbies, I enjoy working out, eating out, and going out, so let me know if you want to join me on any of these excursions. Overall, I am excited and blessed to have this opportunity to serve PPA students and the underserved. Can’t wait to start!
