My industry journey started like many during my rotational experiences, but even prior to that my decision to become actively involved in student organizations enabled me to gain key insights into leadership that paved the way for me to become a successful professional upon graduation. Serving in various e-board positions and planning committee events helped me gain experience and grow as a young professional.

As a Chair and Advisor to the SNPhA Operation Immunization initiative, I developed skills such as problem solving, collaboration, and flexibility. As Public Relations Chair and Vice President of a new student organization on campus, ACCP, I learned the importance of perseverance, time management, and most importantly networking, which has continued to pay significant dividends at each step along the way so far.
