I am a third-year student pharmacist at St. Louis College of Pharmacy, deeply passionate about advancing the profession and improving patient care. I currently have one of two jobs at Walmart Pharmacy, where I’ve gained valuable experience providing accessible, patient-centered care to diverse populations. My involvement in professional organizations like the Missouri Pharmacy Association and APhA-ASP has allowed me to serve in leadership roles and advocate for the growth and recognition of pharmacists in healthcare.

My ultimate career goal is to become a clinical pediatric pharmacist specializing in critical care. Additionally, my second job at St. Louis Children’s Hospital has further fueled my passion for pediatrics, giving me the opportunity to see firsthand the impact that collaborative care has on young patients and their families. I am committed to pursuing PGY1 and PGY2 residencies at a pediatric hospital to achieve this goal.

In addition to my professional aspirations, I am passionate about leadership, advocacy, and mentoring future pharmacists. I enjoy creating innovative programs that make a difference in patient care and strengthen the pharmacy profession. Outside of pharmacy, I love traveling, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family. Receiving the Pharmacy Mutual Community Pharmacy Scholarship has been an incredible honor, reinforcing my dedication to patient care and inspiring me to continue making a meaningful impact in both my community and the field of pharmacy.
