Colleen is certified in Diabetes Management, Medication Therapy Management and as a Pain Management Specialty Pharmacist.

She has been helping patients understand how to get the most out of their medications for almost thirty years, first in various retail pharmacies, and most recently as a cannabis pharmacist in the medical marijuana program in Connecticut.

She currently works at a medical cannabis dispensary where she consults with new patients on the proper way to medicate with cannabis in order to achieve the best results.
