Kelissa started working in her hometown pharmacy at age 15 as a clerk. Her favorite task was delivering medications to patients in assisted living because they often shared treats, pictures, and family stories.

She now possesses a PharmD from the University of Kansas and continues to serve patients with compassion and joy.
