My path to the pharmaceutical industry demonstrates that you can arrive at your destination by taking different routes, and by traveling at different speeds.

Like many young adults, I changed my original major after my freshman year (from engineering to pharmacy) at the University of Minnesota. At that point in my pharmacy education, the biggest decision that my classmates and I faced was whether to obtain a Bachelor of Science or Doctor of Pharmacy degree. I decided to pursue a PharmD, which required one additional year. I graduated in 1994 and elected not to pursue a residency or fellowship which were not emphasized at that time.
