Saint John Residents

Lauren Adam

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am honoured to be one of Horizon's Saint John Regional Hospital pharmacy residents for the 2021-22 year. I grew up in New Maryland, New Brunswick and completed a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in 2017. I then moved to Edmonton to study Pharmacy at the University of Alberta (U of A) and graduated in 2021. I have been a competitive swimmer since I was young and was a member of both the UNB and U of A varsity swim teams during my studies. In addition to swimming, my other interests include drawing and cooking. Over the years, I've worked in community pharmacies, spent a summer as a pharmacy intern at Horizon's Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital in Fredericton, and completed multiple experiential rotations in Alberta. I am pleased to be part of Horizon Health Network again and excited for the year ahead. I am appreciative of this opportunity to further my pharmacy education and learn how to better serve the patients in my care.

Jacqueline Richard

Hi everyone! I'm Jacqueline and I am excited to be furthering my education as a pharmacy resident at Horizon's Saint John Regional Hospital (SJRH) for the 2021-22 year. I am originally from Saint John, New Brunswick and am happy to be back after four years in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Prior to starting my pharmacy degree at Dalhousie University, I graduated from the University of New Brunswick with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology-Chemistry. During my time at Dalhousie, I had the opportunity to work as a pharmacy student intern at the SJRH for three summers, where I conducted pharmacy practice research as a member of various project teams. I was also exposed to a diversity of clinical areas, and developed a particular interest in oncology and infectious disease. I am looking forward to growing my clinical skills as part of different interdisciplinary teams, as well as furthering my research interests over the next year. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, and enjoying the beautiful trails and beaches here in New Brunswick!

Moncton Residents

Hello all! My name is Gemma-Dawn and I am thrilled to be joining the Horizon Health Network team as a pharmacy resident for the 2021-22 year. I was born and raised in rural Prince Edward Island and then moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia to complete my post-secondary education. I first obtained a bachelor's degree concentrated in Biology from Saint Mary's University while playing on the varsity women's hockey team. I then completed my BSc Pharm at Dalhousie University. I am passionate about advancing patient care through multidisciplinary collaboration and look forward to the challenges I will be faced with throughout my residency.

In my spare time, I enjoy keeping active and spending time with family and friends!
