Summary

Creating an environment in a pharmacy setting where all patients are able to receive adequate aid has always been of pivotal focus. Working side-by-side with passionate pharmacists has personally inspired me to help individuals reach their health goals. With the recent increase of technology, it created opportunities to efficiently provide patients with appropriate and innovative methods to receive treatment. Helping others has always been a great fervor whether in a hospital or retail pharmacy setting.
