How It Started

From combat boots to white coat

Before my days of wearing a white coat, I wore combat boots in the US Army.  I served for 4 years as a Geospatial Engineer or topographer where I worked inside a safe providing specialized maps for various missions.  My training in the military provided me with the discipline and focus to transition out of the army into pharmacy school. 

I had a nontraditional graduate school experience.  This included navigating life at a branch campus, working 2 jobs, researching, and even overcoming a divorce as a grad student!

Now, I wear a lab coat as a pharmacist and oversee the preparation of specialty compounded medications.  As a fresh new graduate I struggled with finding resources for compounders like myself, which led to the inception of Compound This, Blog!
