Aaisha Siddiqua
Program: Doctor of Pharmacy
In today's installment of the Salim Habib University Career Placement & Industrial Liaison Office's Backpack to Briefcase Series of Alumni Success Stories, we feature Aaisha Siddiqua, a Doctor of Pharmacy graduate of the Class of 2022, who now works as a Quality Assurance Officer at Hamdard Pakistan.
Here's what Aaisha has to say about her journey:
"Throughout my lifetime, I have always urged myself to be the best version of myself. Luckily, as a student, I have always been granted with the best opportunities in terms of academics. I first studied at St. Joseph's Convent High School and then continued in St. Joseph's College as a Science student. I then continued my education as a Pharm D student at Salim Habib University.
I loved being a part of this University and getting the multiple platforms it provided to me to face my fears and to explore myself and my skills.
The best part of academics at SHU was exposure to the corporate world through internships in renowned pharmaceuticals such as Indus Pharma, Martin Dow, and Barrett Hodgson Pakistan. This helped me gain experience of the corporate world and bridged the gaps between studies and the practical field. Having experienced such a career-oriented environment, I was successful in securing the position of QA Officer in Hamdard Pakistan, which is a major success for me. Special credit goes to my mentors for grooming me and my personality in such an honourable manner, for which I will always be grateful to them. I also thank the Career Placement & Industrial Liaison Office at SHU, which organized the Career Connect 1.23 job fair through which I was able to secure my current placement, and for the Office's support and facilitation."
We are proud of you, Aaisha!
