Blogging

I’ve inadvertently taken a short pause from blogging, and I’ve had a few readers reach out to ask me why. Well I started out 2021 with big plans for Apothea all of which I considered to be SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-Based) and then a few opportunities came up which I couldn’t say no to, so I’m sharing what I’ve been doing

Consulting:

I had a really exciting opportunity come up to work with a start-up company, my vision for healthcare aligned perfectly with the company goals and objectives. The CEO and entire team are a dream to work with and it was a easy YES! Even better is that they were willing to be flexible with my schedule (I work FT as a pharmacist) which was another added bonus. I work with them 5-10 hours a week, on my days off. It’s so different than my traditional pharmacy work, then entire company is remote and its been a very amazing experience.

Publishing:

I’ve always wanted to be a writer, and since starting Apothea my confidence has grown in this area to the point where I’ve gotten more paid opportunities to write. I recently was asked to write for a big women’s digital community based out of California. I can’t wait to share the final piece once its live, but I spent a lot of time writing it and it a huge accomplishment personally.

Another article I recently published was about diabetes and the strong link between Social Support and Improved Diabetic Health Outcomes, you can find it here!

Covid Immunizing Pharmacist:

Its a busy time for pharmacists, and I am no exception! Like all other covid immunizing pharmacists across the country I am busy working one-on-one with patients, giving shots, and answering questions. As I’ve said before this is a huge honor to be working on the front-lines and doing something tangible to stop Covid-19. It’s an experience I will NEVER forget, but it can be exhausting (#IYKYK). But technicians who receive the immunization training, complete CPR, and receive on-site training will be able to administer the Covid-19 vaccine soon, so I am excited for this!!

I plan to be back to blogging weekly again soon! Blogging brings me great joy and I’ve met so many people from this platform, so stick around!
