About Heather

I have an extremely compassionate personality and truly believe that everyone deserves to be respected and to receive great care, no matter what their beliefs, sex, race, orientation, or station in life. I enjoy creating a bond and relationship with everyone I come in contact with. It is important to have a position that I feel is making a difference in someone's life. I want my work to matter. I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician with the national organization Pharmacy Technician Certification Board. I take pride in my pharmacy and medication knowledge and will use a safety first approach to making sure that your loved one's medication is taken on time and properly. I am also very aware of HIPPA laws and will make sure that your loved one's information and care are private.
