THE final episode of the 'Women in Pharmacy' podcast series features Caroline Diamantis - National VP of the PSA, board member of the Pharmacy Council NSW, and a long-time pharmacy owner.
Diamantis shares the story of her journey with Your Pharmacy Career Podcast host Krysti-Lee Patterson, from growing up in her father's pharmacy to overcoming significant challenges as a young female business owner in a male-dominated industry.
Career-defining moments included buying her first pharmacy at just 23, being denied a bank loan because she did not have a husband, and sleeping in the pharmacy to keep her business afloat.
She also discusses her advocacy for women in the industry and the profession's expanded scope of practice, as well as lessons in mentorship, resilience andleadership.
"Caroline's story is a testament to the hard work, sacrifice, and determination it took to pave the way for the women in pharmacy today," said Patterson.
"Her journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of continuing to push for equity and opportunity in pharmacy."
