My Experience

My journey in the world of pharmacy began many years ago, driven by a deep passion for healthcare and a commitment to positively impact patients’ lives. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in various clinical pharmacy roles, from a critical care pharmacist in a small community hospital to serving as a patient care pharmacist and then as a medication safety officer at a major academic medical center in Philadelphia. Throughout my career, I’ve had the honor of mentoring numerous students and residents, sharing my knowledge and guiding them through the complexities of the pharmaceutical field.

Why I Chose Weight Loss and Optimizing GLP-1 Medications?

My choice to focus on weight loss and optimizing GLP-1 medications stems from a deep commitment to addressing one of the most prevalent and impactful health challenges today. This dedication is reflected in my co-authoring of “Losing Weight, Gaining Life.” Weight loss is not just about aesthetics; it is crucial for overall health, preventing chronic diseases, and improving quality of life.

I have personally faced the challenges of losing weight, having gained 40 pounds of unhealthy weight in college and after having my two sons. As a woman over 35, I didn’t think I would ever lose the extra pounds. However, with hard work and using the tips I promote on my website, I finally achieved my weight loss goals.

Throughout my clinical practice, I have witnessed the struggles many patients face in their weight loss journeys. The complexity of weight management, compounded by various physiological, psychological, and lifestyle factors, inspired me to educate others about effective, evidence-based solutions.

Through my platform, “The Well-Rounded Pharmacist,” I aim to empower others with the knowledge and strategies they need to succeed in their weight loss journeys, just as I have.
