“For me, a good pharmacist is not solely based on the amount of knowledge they have.

“A good pharmacist is one who is caring, trustworthy, passionate and filled with integrity. When I was choosing a pharmacy school, I knew having professors who exemplified these characteristics was essential to my development. After hearing and seeing how McWhorter School of Pharmacy’s professors genuinely care for and love their students and their careers, I knew this was the school where I could learn how to be the pharmacist I desire to be.”
