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 do I like to do in my free time: Playing ice hockey in the winter and, more recently, getting into golf during the summer. I've really enjoyed the challenge of learning a new sport and find it to be a fun way to spend time outdoors.

What drew me to Pharmacy: What drew me to pharmacy was the difference that we can make in a patient's life on a day-to-day basis. Not only in regard to the medications that we dispense that help manage their disease state which improve their quality of life, but in the little things we do to like having a small conversation that makes them smile. ​​​​​​​
What do I like to do in my free time: Reading, cooking, baking, being with friends and family.
