I started working at New Norfolk Pharmacy at the young age of 16. I have found a passion for helping and assisting people. In my 39 years of working in a small community based pharmacy, I have found I need to branch out for myself and well - being. I have developed lots of skills in my time and wish to expand my knowledge elsewhere. I believe I can use my knowledge of my pharmacy background elsewhere and continue to expand my knowledge.
