How did you get started in your field?
I always wanted to be a pharmacist. Watching my dad work to serve our community was one of the most rewarding parts of my childhood. I was always begging to tag along to work with him. Continuing on that path was the most natural fit for me.
Which of your accomplishments are you most proud of?
Of course, I’m most proud of my family. My husband is my best friend and teammate, and we are raising some really awesome kids. We bring them along with us, and they’re learning so much about business and real estate. I hope that when they’re grown, they’re good people and are prepared to face the world.
What obstacles have you had to overcome?
Obstacles are a daily thing in pharmacy. It could be fighting an insurance company for proper coverage for medications or negotiating prices for medications with wholesalers. There are so many challenges that pop up in pharmacy. Most of them are smaller, but they’re worth the fight every time.
Is there another “power woman” in your life who inspires you?
I can’t just pick one power woman. I’ve been very blessed to be surrounded with powerful females in the pharmacy world. I’ve had really great teachers, mentors and colleagues that continue to inspire me.
What are you listening to right now?
I love real estate investors and entrepreneurs. I listen to Michael Elefante, Grant and Elena Cardone, and Codie Sanchez. I’m so fascinated by investing and growing a portfolio. I love hearing how these crazy successful people are doing it.
