Near the end of the summor of 2021, I received an email from Dr. Peter Cavnar about the clinic and learned about what the clinic stood for and what they do. This inspired me to sign up. I currently work in the patient assistance program department and to me the work is meaningful because I'm the one who helps get the patient's medications, valued at $3.2 million yearly. I have learned teamwork and leadership, as I collaborate with our team of 7-10 patient advocates who help leverage 20 plus pharmaceutical companies to secure prescription medications at no cost to patients. Our team meets with the patients, monitors completed applications, troubleshoots application approvals and medication shipment delays, & we follow-up with patients to ensure medication compliance. My favorite moments are meeting the people I work with and getting to know them. I enjoy the thought that even if I struggle, I will have friends here that will help and support me, and I will do the same for them! In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my family--especially my mom and my nieces.
