Hey y’all! I’m Topanga, I am originally from Halawa, Hawai’i and I earned my PharmD from the University of Colorado – Denver. My current clinical interests include critical care and psychiatry. Outside of work, I enjoy being an artist, reading a good “who-dun-it” book, and spending time with those I love! I chose to pursue residency training at Self Regional because through my interactions with team members, it was evident that I would be supported and valued in its dynamic environment.

Hello! I’m originally from Cheraw, South Carolina. I completed my undergraduate studies at Limestone University in Gaffney, SC, and earned my Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Presbyterian College School of Pharmacy in Clinton, SC. My current areas of interest include emergency medicine, with additional interests in psychiatry and ambulatory care. Outside of pharmacy, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, taking my dogs to the pond, cooking and baking, traveling, and online shopping – especially on Amazon. I chose Self Regional Healthcare because of its warm, welcoming environment and its commitment to delivering compassionate, high-quality care. Every team member I’ve encountered at Self is intentional in their service, passionate about their work, and genuinely invested in their colleagues and patients. I am confident that Self Regional will help shape me into the pharmacist I aspire to be, while also equipping me with the skills and experiences to grow both professionally and personally.

Hey everyone! I’m Margaret and I’m from the small town of Lake City, SC. I completed both my undergraduate and Doctor of Pharmacy degrees from Presbyterian College. My primary clinical interests include internal medicine and infectious disease. Outside of pharmacy, I enjoy spending time with my friends, thrifting/shopping around for bargain deals, and loving on my English bulldog! After witnessing the commitment to advancing pharmacy practice and supportive environment provided by preceptors during my two IPPE/APPE rotations, I decided that Self Regional was the residency program for me. The dedication of the pharmacy team and the success of past residents gave me full confidence that this program will equip me with the comprehensive training and professional growth needed to become a well-rounded clinical pharmacist upon the completion of my PGY1 residency.
