Jenna Severson
Boyle Family Scholarship
University of Montana Skaggs School of Pharmacy

Jenna is a 4th year pharmacy student at the University of Montana Skaggs School of Pharmacy. Originally from Rapid City, SD, she graduated from Montana State University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. She was inspired to become a pharmacist by the compassionate healthcare professionals who cared for her sister during complex medical issues throughout her life. She aspires to pursue residency, with goals of becoming an excellent inpatient pharmacist, preceptor, and pharmacy professor.
Jenna takes pride in being involved in her university's APhA-ASP chapter, having served for 2 years as the Vice President of Communication, as well as both Co-Chair and Chair of Operation Reproductive Health. She is most proud of facilitating 2 years' worth of reproductive health bingo events to raise money for the local Ronald McDonald House, a charity which helped her family during difficult times. She is also involved in Phi Lambda Sigma, and her pharmacy school's student leadership and recruitment committees. She is also a Montana AHEC Scholar, Advancing Health Equity through Mentoring participant, and Health Careers Opportunity Program Ambassador. She has worked as an intern at OSRX Pharmaceuticals since her first week of pharmacy school and treasures her time and experiences there.
Outside of the pharmacy world, Jenna lives and breathes all things music. She has delighted the airwaves in Montana as DJ Next Jen, hosting bi-weekly community radio shows since 2020. She can often be found enjoying live music and digging through crates at local record stores.
