Commencement 2002 Student Profile of Talent Development Alumna Fiona Boadih.
When she’s not counseling patients or dispensing prescriptions, you may find University of Rhode Island pharmacy major Fiona Boadih practicing her clarinet or dancing the night away.
The Rumford resident graduated from the six-year URI pharmacy program on May 19, and will soon make a scrapbook of all the memories she created from her many extracurricular activities.
In her fourth year at the University, Boadih became an active member of the URI Ballroom Dancing Club. She had no experience in dancing, but her parents convinced her to try it as an extracurricular activity, and it apparently came as a natural talent for her. In 2000 Boadih was a first place winner in the cha-cha category at the Newcomer International Ballroom Dancing Competition at the University of Connecticut.
“It was great! I wasn’t expecting to win because I had just learned the dance,” said Boadih.
