Why did you become a pharmacist?

โ€œI was raised by my grandmother and loved her words of wisdom, guidance, and encouragement. I also admired her strength. Being a pharmacist allowed me to look after her and ensured I played an integral role in her good health and well-being.โ€

What interests do you have that you do in your spare time?

โ€œI enjoy gardening, hiking, and cooking international cuisines.โ€

Do you have a favourite sports team?

โ€œLiverpool Football Club. โ€œ

What is your favourite food?

โ€œShepherdโ€™s Pie.โ€œ

Brief info about your family?

โ€œI have a husband, son, and an African Grey Parrot. My husband works hard to make sure Iโ€™m happy. His favorite quote is โ€œHappy wife, happy life.โ€ My son is a high schooler and thinks mum is no longer โ€œcool!โ€ I like to remind him otherwise. My crazy parrot that is too vocal for his own good.โ€

What is one interesting fact about you?

โ€œIโ€™m vegan, but many of my past customers didnโ€™t know. Whenever I received food from them for appreciation, my technicians had a field day. Only one of my customers knew, and every other Sunday, she bought me Thai Red curry for dinner from her restaurant.โ€

If you had to choose a celebrity to play you in a documentary about your life, who would it be, and why?

โ€œIt would have to be Courteney Cox (AKA Monica Geller from Friends). My work colleagues often have referred to me as Monica. I guess they were spot on because my son just started watching Friends on Netflix, and says โ€œMum, you are such a Monica.โ€ I have to admit: I like Monica a lot.โ€
