Biography
In 2016, Alya completed her bachelor’s study in Pharmaceutical Science and Technology at Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). During her undergraduate study, she was named the Most Outstanding First Year Student of ITB, runner up of the Most Outstanding Pharmacy Student of ITB, and runner up of the Indonesian Most Outstanding Pharmaceutical Student. Following her pharmacist degree (apt.) in 2018, Alya worked as a Market Access Scientific Associate at AstraZeneca where she was in charge of Cardiovascular and Metabolic (CVRM) products.
