Cheyenne Collier

I've been working in retail pharmacy for 13 years, all with Walgreens, which is the only taxable job I've ever held. I started as a cashier to make gas money for community college, initially pursuing nursing before realizing it wasn't for me. My boss saw potential in me for the pharmacy, and once I started working there, I knew I had found my calling. I completed the necessary coursework at community college and applied to pharmacy schools across Tennessee, eventually getting into a very prestigious private university that I didn't think I would be accepted to. Now, as a pharmacy manager for just under 2 years, my focus is on making sure we take the best possible care of our patients, especially in an area that's kind of a healthcare desert. I work to ensure my team has all the tools necessary to work at the top of their licenses, and I'm particularly passionate about training up technicians and creating an environment of open, respectful, and productive communication. I do really good work with Medicare patients, helping them manage their medications, and I've been at the top of the board several times for that work, as well as for immunizations. But my biggest accomplishment is the environment I provide for both my patients and my team.
