Why did you choose Mountainside?

• After experiencing an ED APPE rotation here at Mountainside, I knew that this institution housed prescribers and other professionals who value the contributions of pharmacists. I also knew that I would be left in good hands, as the pharmacy department and residency coordinators are all passionate about guiding and educating their students. I am beyond excited and grateful to start my career at Mountainside Medical Center!

Fun Fact?

• First-generation Asian American, but healthcare runs in my family. Both my parents have worked at Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth NJ since they immigrated here from the Philippines, and my sister currently holds a nursing position in the radiology department at that same hospital.
