My Journey Through the Pharmacy Profession

You can definitely say the pharmacy profession runs in my family, as both my father and sister are pharmacists. My father inspired me to pursue a career in pharmacy, through his dedication to the profession. Pharmacists play such an important role in patient care, and I wanted to make a positive impact on the community. I completed the Dual Admissions Pharmacy program and then went on to receive my Doctor of Pharmacy degree at NSU. Postdoctoral training was the path for me, so I completed a Drug Information Residency. This residency inspired me through my role as a teacher, mentor, and researcher. I served as a professor at NSU College of Pharmacy for 6 years, and I truly enjoyed my experience. Through teaching, research, service, and scholarship I played an integral role in the education of student pharmacists. I managed the Drug Information Center where we answered medication questions from patients and healthcare professionals. I also had the opportunity to publish research in various scholarly journals. Currently, I am a medical reviewer with RxWiki, which is an excellent online drug information resource for patients. It is a truly rewarding experience to work with pharmacists who review and write cutting edge drug information for patients. I’ve always believed that pharmacy is a lifelong learning profession, as new medications and research are always on the horizon. I am excited to share my journey through the pharmacy profession with you, so welcome aboard!
