What made you want to become a pharmacy technician?

When I became a pharmacy technician, I was a full-time college student. I was able to work full time and go to school because of the flexible schedule. I also had interest in the health care field.

What do you enjoy most about teaching for MK Education and Lincoln Land Community College?

I enjoy helping students with their career and seeing them blossom. Danielle Jacob, my teacher’s assistant, was a former student of mine. It is gratifying to see how far she has come from starting in the class, to a lead technician and now teaching herself!

What do the students enjoy most about taking the class?

I think gaining drug knowledge the most and learning about what goes on when their prescription is being filled.

Can you tell me any hobbies/fun facts about you?

I have a dog named Ruby and love spending time with my five nieces and nephews. I also enjoy playing golf and I’ve had a hole in one!
