Clinical Pharmacists are doctors who can support you on the phone by teaching you about your medicines and side effects, and Pharmacy Technicians are licensed staff who can help you on the phone or in your home. They make sure your medicine list is up-to-date, that you are taking medicines safely, and that you are able to get refills on time.

I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician currently enrolled in Durham Technical Community College pursuing a degree in nursing. I have been in pharmacy since 2004, where I began working in a retail pharmacy as a cashier. An opportunity presented itself when I received the chance to move into a tech position. I became determined to succeed by teaching myself how to read sig codes, brand generic drugs and their uses, and basic pharmacy operations. I quickly recognized the joy associated with successfully working with all backgrounds of people and contributing to the well-being and health of the community. Since then I’ve worked my way throughout various areas or pharmacy including inpatient, IV preparation, chemotherapy, medication administration, and some work with drug efficacy and safety. I am excited about the patient centered work that is being done through DukeWELL and PHMO, and I look forward to contributing to the success of our patients.

I have been a Certified Pharmacy Technician for the past nine years with experience in independent, retail, and outpatient pharmacies. I enjoy the work I do, because I am able to help patients be consistent with their medication regimen, as well as helping with medication affordability, speaking with insurance companies, or overcoming any barriers preventing them from getting the medication they need, which will result in overall better health for the patient. It is a pleasure to know that my work impacts so many patients to achieve better health.
