In Lincoln, we are located off of 40th and Normal Blvd.
How did you get started in the business? – I began working in nursing as a CNA/medication aide in 2009. In 2016, I made the switch to working in pharmacy. I worked retail pharmacy for one year and then LTC Pharmacy for five years. I began my venture with Nebraska LTC Pharmacy in September 2021and quickly worked my way up to earning my most recent promotion to pharmacy manager. This is my dream job because I have the freedom and support to manage a successful small business that deeply cares about the community and our patients.
