About

As a graduate of UW-Madison and of the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy, I am deeply committed to fostering diversity and inclusion within higher education. Throughout my academic journey, I have strived to merge my passion for pharmacy with my drive for social impact, advocating for underserved communities and amplifying diverse voices in healthcare. In addition to my academic pursuits, I volunteered at the Phillips Neighborhood Clinic (PNC) as a webmaster and interpreter. I utilized my skills to support the organization's mission and facilitate communication across diverse communities. With a passion for making a difference in healthcare, I am a pharmacy intern at Children's Minnesota where I am gaining invaluable experience in pediatric pharmacy. Through this role, I am dedicated to providing compassionate care to young patients and their families while continuously striving to improve health outcomes. I am actively working towards health equity, inclusion, and diversification in all aspects of my work and education. I am committed to leveraging my background, skills, and education to contribute positively to the healthcare landscape and advocate for marginalized communities. Outside pharmacy, you will often find me with a camera in hand, capturing moments that inspire and ignite creativity. Let's connect & collaborate on initiatives to promote health, equity, and cultural diversity in healthcare!
