Statement:

"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”

–J.W. von Goethe

I am running for president-elect because I am passionate about the profession of pharmacy. Being president-elect will mean working for you and with you. I intend to hold myself to a higher standard and challenge others to participate in the ongoing evolution of our profession and Association.

Since graduating from Texas Tech in 2005, I’ve been with Brookshire Grocery Company as a pharmacy manager and now a clinical pharmacist. I’ve learned countless lessons throughout the years including when to take a stand, how to adapt quickly, and that I don’t have all the answers. I’ve learned that when something is important, you make time for it. And I’ve learned that commitment is essential to move our profession in the direction of our choosing.

I am running for president-elect because leading this organization excites me. I want to share my enthusiasm with others and look forward to the opportunity to grow as a person, as a pharmacist, and as a leader through this experience. I am seeking your support for president-elect so we can move our profession forward together. #TogetherPharmacyAdvances
