What have you been up to since graduating from the MHA program at Mizzou?

Since graduating from the MHA program, I’ve had many leadership opportunities spanning from leading a pharmacy team as director of pharmacy to supporting an entire market of hospital pharmacies.

When it comes to your career so far, what are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of the continued change. I’ve had several roles that required me to step way outside of my comfort zone. Each role has challenged me in new ways, and I’ve seen such positive personal and professional growth by getting uncomfortable!

How did your experiences in the MHA program prepare you for your career?

Through the Executive program, I was able to bring my real-life experiences into the program and receive guidance on how to optimize and build efficiencies.

What advice do you have for MHA students who want to follow a similar career path?

Build your network! Choose to be a leader in your area of interest and connect with like-minded leaders who want to challenge themselves and the status quo.

What is a favorite memory from your time in the program or a class that you really enjoyed?

The connections I made within the program. I am still connected with my classmates and love following their journeys.

Why should potential students get their MHA from Mizzou?

The program provides an intimate experience with a big impact.
