"I have a Bachelor's Degree in Biology from Tampa College of Natural and Health Sciences. I graduated with Honours, which was an especially proud moment since I had also been working part-time. The coursework was thorough and hands-on, preparing me to step into a lab setting and get to work from day one at Allergan."

"I recently graduated from the University of Georgia with my Degree in Pharmaceutical Science. With this degree, I look forward to joining Allergan and carving out a great career with you. When the timing is right, I plan to return to school to obtain my Master's Degree in a science-based field. This extension of learning, of course, would be in tandem with my full-time job."
