How it Started
From combat boots to white coat
Before I wore 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!

Mission
For Compound This Blog to be the virtual hangout and resource guide for pharmacists as they navigate their career as a compounder, student, or any pharmacy.
