Growing up in my mom’s independent pharmacy in rural West Virginia, I was exposed at a young age to the impact a pharmacist can make.

My pharmacy school journey has been curvy and bumpy. But each of these curves and bumps has been valuable lessons that I believe have made me a better health care professional.

Entering pharmacy school can be scary! Starting difficult classes, meeting new people, and transitioning into a graduate level learning environment are only some of the potential challenges student pharmacists face.
