Salma Abu Dahab

RCSI '29

Hi, I’m Salma, a second-year Pharmacy student at RCSI. I am so excited to write for HerCampus as it gives me a creative outlet where I can share ideas, experiences, and stories with women from all walks of life. While pharmacy keeps me deeply engaged in science and healthcare, I also have a strong passion for creativity, writing, and connecting with others through words.

HerCampus is more than just a platform, rather it’s a community where women can inspire and uplift one another by talking openly about everything from academics and career goals to wellness, lifestyle, and personal growth. Writing allows me to balance my scientific side with my love for expression, and I hope my pieces resonate with readers who may be going through similar experiences.

Outside of my studies, I enjoy exploring new cafes around Dublin, running around the city, and keeping up with the latest in health and wellness. I’m also passionate about conversations around self-care, empowerment, and building confidence. Through HerCampus, I hope to spark meaningful discussions, share practical tips, and encourage women to embrace both their ambitions and their creativity.
