ASK STANLEY - Key Persons
I attended college at UCA and completed my degree at ASU. After obtaining my degree, I spent around 4 years as a retail tech, but my interest was in expanding my knowledge in pharmacy. I have obtained my certification as a Pharmacy Technician. I trained to do sterile compounding and worked at a hospital for four years. Since April of 2019 I have been doing non-sterile compounding with Stanley Compounding. I really like that we make everything from scratch and specifically tailor it for each patient. The staff here is so dedicated to being the best at what we do, but we can have fun while doing so. We really strive to make sure our patients know that they are going to be taken care of like family. Every one of our patients has been sent to us with a condition that might be new to them or scary which can be overwhelming and cause worry. We are here to shoulder that burden and make our patient's experience as stress free as possible. When I am not working, I really like reading, traveling, and learning new languages. I have two amazing parents and a large extended family that continue to support me in all of my efforts.Pharmacy Technician
After almost 10 years of experience as a pharmacy technician in a hospital setting, I joined Stanley Pharmacy Compounding Center in the spring of 2013. I have always enjoyed my time in the pharmaceutical field and have gained a great appreciation for compounding customer tailored medication. I have been blessed with two rowdy boys and one funny little girl. My spare time is spent at various sports games, watching the latest super hero movies, and having tea parties.
After marrying my high school sweetheart and graduating pharmacy school, I worked at an independent pharmacy. After a short time, I joined a Fortune 500 Pharmaceutical Company where I gained experience in marketing and sales leadership. I was blessed to have the opportunity to coach and develop over 40 sales representatives. After 18 years, I began to employ my experiences as a business owner and became a co-owner of Stanley Pharmacy Compounding Center. I am a Christian father of two daughters, who loves Crossfit and admits to being a terrible bowler.
After graduating with a master's degree in business administration, I joined a Fortune 500 company in the transportation industry as their market development manager. After several years of business to business sales, I decided to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry. I worked for one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies for over seven years, promoting a variety of products ranging from respiratory to diabetes. I joined Stanley Compounding Center in May of 2014 and am very excited about promoting our vast portfolio of compounds to help improve patients' health. I am blessed to be married to my best friend, step-mom to two amazing teenagers, and "momma" to my precious Chihuahua "Lady." I love spending time with my family camping, hunting, and fishing. (Well, maybe not fishing, but hey, it sounded good)!
After graduating from UAMS College of Pharmacy in 2015, I joined Walgreens and worked as a staff pharmacist and eventually became the pharmacy manager. In September of 2020, I joined the Stanley Pharmacy Compounding team. What I have loved about Stanley Compounding is learning more about compounded prescriptions and all the ways we can help our patients that are different from a traditional retail pharmacy. I really enjoy my co-workers and how we all work together to give our patients the best customer experience. Our pharmacy puts the patient first no matter what. We do not chase metrics or numbers. Each day, we do whatever it takes to give our patients the quality healthcare they both need and deserve. Outside of the pharmacy, I love spending time with my family. I live in Cabot with my husband, 5 year old daughter, 2 year old son, and Charlie, our beloved Husky/Lab mix that turned 12 this year. We enjoy traveling, especially to the beach, playing in the garden, and Friday night pizza and a movie.
I have been a pharmacist since 1994 and opened Stanley Pharmacy in 1996 with my wonderful husband Scott. When in high school, I worked as a clerk in a pharmacy in Little Rock. I enjoyed building relationships with people and I loved math and science, so I knew pharmacy would be a great fit. As mother of three, I enjoy owning my own business because we are off on Sundays, so our family and staff can go to church. I also feel blessed to work with a great staff. I feel I offer hope to people for a positive therapeutic outcome.
I started working at Stanley Pharmacy in August 2005. Having a friend in pharmacy school made me interested in the pharmacy profession. As a result, I started pharmacy school in 1989 and graduated in 1993. Since then, I have worked in lots of different types of pharmacies - hospitals, home i.v. pharmacy, and retail pharmacies. Since working for Stanley Pharmacy, I have come to love the Compounding side of pharmacy. I love working for Scott and Kelly, who are old friends from pharmacy school. I really like the fact that this is a specialty pharmacy. It is interesting to work with the bioidentical hormones and alternative/natural medications. By listening to our patients, evaluating them, and then working with their physician, we can make a big impact on their symptoms and problems. We try to address the whole patient and not just one specific symptom or problem. It is so nice when a patient can experience relief of pain or other problems from the medication we make for them.
