| Goals for ASP: We have
been very fortunate to have a great
membership enrollment consistently year

Involved: My experience with APhA-ASP
has shown me what a huge impact pharmacists
can have on healthcare in this country. I

national level and the opportunities that we
have to vital advocates in our own practice
experiences. |

| Hometown: Elizabeth, Colorado |
| Goals for ASP: My
main goal is for campus and the community to

Describe yourself in a haiku/whatever you
want:
My limerick about me…
There once was a lass from the east coast
She loved to live life to the utmost
But she wants a Pharm.D.
So she’s happy to be
Living on peanut butter and toast
Favorite drug: There
is a tie for my favorite drug between rosiglitazone
and clopidogrel. Rosiglitazone because my favorite
color is red and I love anything that sparkles and
rosiglitazone sounds like it should be red and
sparkly- Imagine my disgust when I actually saw a
real pill of it for the first time! Clopidogrel
because it always makes me chuckle- I learned it as
“clop- a- dog- rel” for EPE during P1 year. Note-
I do not endorse abusing animals! |
Birthday: August 30, 1978 |
| Where you went to undergrad:
Pomona College in Sunny Claremont, CA |
| Hometown: Arlington, VA |
Goals for ASP:
- Make sure the rest of the country
realizes all the great things we’re
doing at Creighton.
- Increase fun and make sure we all
know about the opportunities for us to
feel like “real pharmacists” while we’re
in school (AKA Pharm Care, IPSF, and
other projects)
- To serve as a resource and motivator
for new Student Pharmacists coming up
the ranks.
|
Your motivation for being
involved: My past few
years as a member of APhA-ASP have allowed
me to grow in ways that I never expected- I
took on the position as Region V
Member-at-large because I wanted to
facilitate others in having as good an
experience as I have.
