The most rewarding thing about working in the pharmacy field is making a daily difference in the lives of patients and customers everyday, and getting to know them as well as helping them live a healthier life, living better, and saving money for them, along with giving them trust in life. It is customers, patients, whom I am thankful for everyday, whom gives me the ability to serve them making a difference in their life everyday, through them I am very blessed and very thankful for the blessings given to me in life.

Who/what inspired you to be a pharmacist:
I was inspired to work in the pharmacy after 9/11 as I worked for US Airways. I went to a recruiting event with CVS /Pharmacy being in the health myself and growing up with health knowledgeable parents being organic health conscience as I was born naturally, at home. I wanted to give back and serve in making a difference in the lives of people I see everyday and help them to live a better, healthier and happier life as I am blessed in life
