W

hen Julia Cahill Darnell was accepted by the
Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical
Sciences, it was the first time this California girl
had lived outside her home state.
Now, Darnell, 26, who will receive her
PharmD degree in May, is returning to her hometown of San Diego
for a residency program in ambulatory care at the University of
California San Diego. Her four years at CU Pharmacy have been
life changing, personally as well as professionally.
"Within my first year of pharmacy school, I met many people who
would change my life including mentors, friends, and my husband.
During my P3 year I was fortunate enough to obtain a job in primary
care at Kaiser Permanente, where I quickly realized my passion for
clinical pharmacy and ambulatory care," Darnell says.

Darnell learned about CU from
a friend in a nursing residency here.
In Darnell's interviews and talks with
CU students, she was impressed by the
cooperative, rather than competitive,
attitudes she observed.
As a first-year student, she volunteered at an African-American health
fair, not sure she had enough knowledge to be useful - but quickly
learned she could provide insight
and help to fair-goers having bone
density tests. The experience was so
positive, she volunteered frequently

at similar events throughout her four
years of schooling.
She met her future husband, Andy
Darnell, 30, online in the spring of her
first year. He is a dental hygienist, and
understands the pressures of becoming
a healthcare professional.
After two years of dating, Andy
Darnell popped the question at
Disneyland, not far from Cinderella's
castle. Julia Darnell grew up going to
the Magic Kingdom and her sister
had hinted to Andy that the Anaheim
landmark would be the perfect place to
propose. The couple married Nov. 25,
2018. Andy Darnell is studying for his
California license.
Julia Darnell looks back on her time
at CU positively: "Nothing can really
prepare you for graduate school," she says,
"but I've never regretted my decision."
