About the Author

Hello! I am a geriatric-certified and licensed pharmacist (BSP, BCGP), an award-winning educator, writer, and model living in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

I practiced as a community pharmacist and pharmacy manager for many years, specialized in caring for geriatric and end-of-life patients. I then taught introductory pharmacology at a university for over ten years.

I have helped thousands of nurses, pharmacists, and other health sciences students learn introductory pharmacology, winning multiple teaching awards.
