Dr. Heyneman was born and raised in Pocatello, ID with professor parents, too curious for her own good, and a healthy competitive streak. After learning about coding for cures at UC San Diego, she decided she wanted to be helping patients directly, bringing her back to Idaho to get her PharmD in 2022. After many experiences advocating for patients of all backgrounds, finding the love of her life, and teaching the next generation of pharmacists, she’s ready to bring what she learned back to her hometown. She’s only a little bitter that her brother won the race.
