Introduce yourself:
A pharmacist by training, I was raised in the Midwest and began my academic career at Miami University. Although my primary focus was pre-pharmacy coursework, I minored in religion and was able to express myself by writing and allowing my scientific, analytical brain to rest! After completing my pre-pharmacy coursework, I attended South University and graduated with honors receiving a Doctorate of Pharmacy. For many years, I worked as a pharmacy manager. Besides performing meticulous, detail-oriented pharmacist duties, I wrote, compiled, and edited company wide communications and guidelines about a new software rollout. My joy was in my patient-clients, communicating, listening, and guiding them in every way possible. Following my passion for reading and grammar, I continue to pour over books, analyzing writing styles and grammar usage. Now residing in the Renaissance City of Florence, Italy with my family, I stay busy by raising two young daughters, playing make-believe and dress-up, exploring the Italian landscape, and trying my best to live the “bella vita!”
