Advice for Someone New to Your Specialty Area

“My advice to someone new to my specialty area would be to never stop learning. Never think anything is impossible. Never close the door on any opportunity, because you never know where your path may lead you. I never thought I would end up in academia- my dream job was to be a clinical pharmacist in a teaching hospital.”

ASHP’s Value to Members

“Being involved with ASHP allows me exceptional professional development, ways to give back to my profession through leadership opportunities, toolkits to help mentor students, and to be involved with an organization that works so hard to continue to advance the profession.”
