Growing up in my mom’s independent pharmacy in rural West Virginia, I was exposed at a young age to the impact a pharmacist can make.

“Each of Us, for All of Us”—my 2024–2025 presidential theme—is the paradoxical balance between providing support for yourself and your community.

My pharmacy school journey has been curvy and bumpy. But each of these curves and bumps has been valuable lessons that I believe have made me a better health care professional.
