I am originally from Colorado, and ended up at Creighton for six years while I earned my PharmD. My time on campus was beautiful, yet also burdened by the pandemic. The roles I had in campus ministry were diminished due to the restrictions, and this weighed heavily on my heart. My choir director was so kind as to recommend me to write for Creighton Online Ministries as a replacement for the reflections I was supposed to be doing in my ministry. I am new to this specific ministry, but it has already taught me so much and brought me many blessings. Immediately following pharmacy school, I got married and moved to the east coast to join my husband, who is in the marines. I am lucky to be working as a pharmacist in my field of choice: Long Term care. In my spare time I read, spend time outdoors, and care for our two cats and horse!

The opportunity to write these reflections was given to me when covid had taken a different ministry opportunity away. It has healed a part of me, and I am humbled to contribute my young thoughts to this vast world.
