This month, we are joined at Plain City Druggist by Jadelyn Cheng a fourth-year pharmacy student from The Ohio State University’s College of Pharmacy.

Jadelyn will graduate in May 2024 with her PharmD degree and will then take the test to become a registered pharmacist. Jadelyn will be with Tayler and the gang here in Plain City throughout September, so please stop by and meet her while she is here.

Here is what Jadelyn tells us about herself:

Hello there! I’m Jadelyn Cheng, and I’m thrilled to be joining Plain City Druggist this month. I’m currently a fourth-year student pharmacist at The Ohio State University’s College of Pharmacy, where I have served as class president for all four years.

Math and science have always been my forte. I attended a STEM high school and a bioscience technologies program, honing my skills in engineering and research. Initially, I had aspirations of pursuing drug discovery and development. However, I soon realized that my passion for medications was more patient-centered and decided early on in high school to pursue pharmacy school instead.

I completed my BS in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Ohio State in 2020 and started pharmacy school that same year. I have diverse interests in pharmacy, but all stem from my love for pharmacy education. My experience primarily lies in community pharmacy, having worked for Kroger Pharmacy for six years. I enjoy building relationships with patients and earning their trust to provide recommendations.

Furthermore, I’m passionate about academia. I’ve taught undergrad and first-year pharmacy students and would love to continue teaching the next generation of pharmacy students. My immediate plans involve applying for industry fellowships to utilize marketing, research, and informatics to create information accessible to all.

Outside of the pharmacy world, I’m an avid reader and am currently on book 97 out of 100 for my 2023 reading goal. I also enjoy creative writing and love music and live concerts. I was fortunate to catch my favorite band in nine different cities last year!

I look forward to our month together!
