I’m Kristen —
A pharmacist, business owner, and board leader based in Ontario.
I own and operate multiple pharmacies, including Kristen’s Pharmacy, where I have built a model of care focused on clinical excellence, access, and innovation.
Alongside my clinical work, I contribute nationally through board leadership, advisory roles, and education, with a focus on advancing pharmacy practice and improving patient care.
My work is driven by a simple goal, to build better systems that support both patients and the professionals who care for them.
