Three siblings reflect on their University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy journeys
The pharmacy profession is known across Canada as a close-knit community, but for three University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy siblings it goes deeper than that. For them it’s a family affair.
Growing up, Nikola Cubelic (PharmD ’23), Viktoria Cubelic, a current Waterloo Pharmacy student and Anteja Cubelic, a current Faculty of Science undergraduate and Conditional Admission to Pharmacy (CAP) student, were all exposed to pharmacy from a young age.
“In a way, pharmacy was a big part of our childhood, it all started with our mom. Watching her career as a pharmacist sparked interest in all of us,” Viktoria says.
“I have early memories of visiting the hospital pharmacy where our mom was working. Pharmacy has always been a part of our family,” Nikola adds.
After hearing their mom speak highly of the profession, the idea of pharmacy as a career was always at the back of their minds.
