"I took the long way to pharmacy. That's exactly why I explain things the way I do."

I'm a PharmD, a mom of twins, and a woman in midlife figuring this out right alongside you. I read labels and research for a living, and I turn it into plain language you can use at the pharmacy aisle and the doctor's office.

Pharmacy runs in my family. My mom is a pharmacist too. But I didn't get here in a straight line.
