Some days I’m a pharmacist deep in pharmacogenomic testing.

Some days I’m reviewing medications and supplements.
Most days I’m also a boy mom, balancing family, work, and a whole lot of heart.

This illustration captures exactly why Florida PGX Consulting, LLC exists. I believe personalized medicine should feel human, not overwhelming. Pharmacogenomics helps us understand how your genetics influence medication response so we can reduce trial-and-error and create smarter, safer care plans.

As a precision medicine pharmacist, my role is to connect the science with real life — helping patients feel heard, supported, and confident in their health decisions. Whether it’s PGx testing, medication optimization, or supplement guidance, everything I do is rooted in clarity, education, and care for the whole person.

This isn’t just my work. It’s my purpose — and my family is always part of the why behind it.

Pharmacogenomics could be key to tailoring therapies. Pharmacists can weigh in on medication effectiveness based on patient factors like kidney clearance, nutrition, activity level, and genetics. Thoughtful, individualized therapy requires proper compensation for pharmacists' time.

Many pharmacists are finding job opportunities on the backend, such as with report generation companies and laboratories. Pharmacists support providers by interpreting PGx results, but more training and reimbursement alignment is needed. This is because many providers are not trained to understand this information. Have you felt this?
