What drew me to Pharmacy: I have always had a strong desire to work in healthcare and make a meaningful impact on people's lives. My fascination with how medications can prevent, manage, and treat a wide range of conditions led me to pursue a career in pharmacy. I am drawn to the unique role pharmacists play in optimizing medication therapy, promoting patient safety, and improving overall health outcomes. I also value the collaborative nature of the profession and enjoy working alongside other healthcare professionals to provide the best care possible. ​​​​​​​

What drew me to Pharmacy: What initially drew me to pursue a pharmacy residency at a hospital in my hometown was the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within the community that shaped me. Growing up here, I developed a strong appreciation for the importance of accessible, compassionate healthcare. Choosing Guthrie was a natural fit, allowing me to combine my clinical interests with my passion for patient-centered care. During my training, I was drawn to managing complex patient cases, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, and advancing medication safety initiatives. These experiences reinforced my desire to deepen my clinical skills through residency training.​​​​​​​
What do I like to do in my free time: I tend to relax by finding the most recent mystery documentary on Netflix or going to the gym!
