The most rewarding thing about being a pharmacist is:
Helping people understand their medical conditions and how they can help themselves.

Who/what inspired you to be a pharmacist:
My previous job was a paramedic. When I started looking for a new job, my father asked what I would change to make my current job easier. I wanted to make Rx labels easier for first responders to know why patients were taking each medication. Unfortunately, insurance makes this impossible, so I focus on counseling my patients.
