Why UNC

After a year of growth and learning, continuing my training at UNC was the obvious choice for me. Beyond the network of clinics that challenge the status quo of pharmacy practice, the people that work across this institution make UNC incredible. I have countless experiences of preceptors, directors, and mentors that poured their time into seeing that I not only became an excellent pharmacist, but also an excellent person. My fellow co-residents have done this, as well, and continue to inspire me daily; they make UNC 'home'. Additionally, I am proud of the diversity, equity and inclusion efforts that UNC prioritizes. I am looking forward to the personal and professional growth that I will undoubtedly experience during the upcoming year.
