The Tailored Track: Personalized Path to Pharmacy

In my youth, I underwent a procedure for hearing issues. In the pre-op room, I vividly recall being instructed to consume a small amount of purple liquid. Shortly afterward, I found myself hallucinating, surrounded by fluffy pink rams falling from the ceiling and seemingly attacking me. This experience marked a turning point, sparking my fascination with the profound impact of medicine.

I pursued education at Cato Middle College High School, earning my Associate of Science in the Biological Life Sciences Pathway. Later, I transferred to Wingate University, where I completed the remaining prerequisites before entering Wingate University School of Pharmacy. Post-graduation, I embarked on a PGY-1 Acute Care Residency at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
