I can truly say that I have worked from the bottom to the top. At 15 I took my first summer job working at a turf farm and learned what hard work was right from the start. After doing that for a few summers I found a job as a camp counselor at FENCE day camp teaching children about the outdoors and different ecosystems. I took my first pharmacy job as a technician in 2000 the year I graduated from high school. From there I worked myself through school and completed my pre-pharmacy course work at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. In 2004 I entered pharmacy school at Wingate University School of Pharmacy and graduated Cum Laude in 2008 earning the PharmD. Upon graduation I signed on as a staff pharmacist with CVS eventually becoming a pharmacist manager and have been so ever since.
