Career Achievements:
I graduated from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in May of 2003. I was able to make the Dean's List, which was a real challenge.

How did Dana help prepare you for your career or graduate school?
Dana did an excellent job educationally speaking. What most overlook though, is that Dana teaches their students how to express themselves and communicate with others effectively. Teamwork was also an essential part of playing basketball at Dana. Being able to explain pharmaceuticals to patients and working together with a health care team is an essential part of being a pharmacist. Dr. (Therese) Michels and Dr. (Scott) Morgan taught me well, and I found pharmacy to be a great application of their teachings.

What do remember most about your time at Dana?
My friends will always be the best part of my life, and you will make some of the best friends ever while going to college at Dana. The instructors and professor were also more like friends than just teachers. The professors always did an excellent job. For example, I can never remember a time when an instructor would not take the time to make sure I understand the material or answer any questions I had outside of class. Actually, a couple of chemistry professors allowed me to call them at home if I needed to ask them questions. I will always love and think of my chemistry professors. This should give you some idea of how much they mean to me and the respect I will always have for them.
