Having grown up in an extended family of pharmacists, pharmacy was initially a natural career decision for me. I will be forever grateful that one of my pharmacy professors suggested that I apply for a summer internship working for a pharmaceutical company. I remember the morning I received a call from Mr. Joe Dilger at Parke-Davis asking me if I would like to participate in their summer internship program, which I graciously accepted. Unbeknownst to me at the time, that phone call would change my career path forever.
