Biography

I grew up in a small, rural town on the east side of Michigan where I quickly grew a love for science and medicine. I explored different avenues in the health care field and fell in love with the pharmacy profession. During school and after graduation, I worked at several community pharmacies where I was able to work one-on-one with patients every day. I find these interactions to be rewarding for myself and for the patient and want to share my experiences with incoming pharmacy students for years to come.
