Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
I have been in healthcare for 20 years as a pharmacist. My ultimate goal has always been to improve people’s lives through better healthcare access and preventative health education. About 10 years ago, I discovered acupuncture to be an amazing modality in preventative health as well as treatment. I completed a master’s program at the New England School of Acupuncture in Chinese and Japanese acupuncture and joined a community project, Acupuncture for Everyone. In the meantime, I opened an acupuncture office in Watertown, acuSPOT acupuncture, where I treat patients and educate them about preventative health.
