PSS – ICM Pharma Transformational Leader Award 2025
“It’s definitely really fun in this journey of starting my own company and making changes in a primary care setting. It’s a leap of faith to leave the public health institution for my company. During this period of time, there have been challenges, but along the way, I also found many easter eggs.”
To my fellow pharmacists: “Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and embrace change, as you may find something that is unexpected along the way.”
