2.3. What's next? - I really never thought I'd end up back in a formal education program after spending so much time, money, and energy on my pharmacy degree... but I'm always looking to learn something new...

4. Career

4.1. Community Pharmacy - in 2011 I entered into a partnership to become an independent pharmacy owner. As the acting Director of Pharmacy, grew the business from 3 locations to 10 over the next 8 years. Successfully exited the company in early 2019.

4.2. Health Plan Consultant - after exiting my independent pharmacy business, I began working as a consultant in a large health plan - focused on Medicare STARS and Pharmacy strategy. It's been a BIG change, but one that I have enjoyed and had the opportunity to grow and learn!

4.3. What's Next? The main reason I entered into the Carey MBA program was to advance my education and prepare myself for the next stage of my career. I look forward to the challenges ahead!
