Meet the Executive Board

Regent

Shefa Ali

Although born in Daytona, Shefa spent most of her life growing up in Deltona and Deland, Fl. In 2017, she graduated from Stetson University with her Bachelor’s in Biochemistry. She enjoys singing and dancing when she has some free time (and even when she doesn’t). She also enjoys listening to music or reading something light to take her mind elsewhere. Shefa has been thankful for the opportunity to work with an amazing team, both in her first and second year, for the AMCP P&T Competition that won the local competition both years and got honorable mentions nationally. This year, outside of Kappa Psi, Shefa is APhA-ASP’s President and AMCP’s P&T Co-Coordinator. She looks forward to leaving her mark on these organizations and the profession of pharmacy.
