Our Staff

---

Since high school, Marie has known that she wanted to be a pharmacist.  She completed undergrad at UCSB and received her Pharma.D. from UCSF. She also completed a Residency in Community Pharmacy Practice with the University of Tennessee.  

She opened Pacific Compounding in spring 2006 in Lincoln Center where she could focus on patient care and personalized medications.

Over 10 years, the pharmacy in Lincoln Center tripled in size to accommodate sterile compounding, individual consultations, and appropriate facilities for the practice of compounding pharmaceuticals. As the practice needed to update facilities to comply with new practice regulations in 2023, the pharmacy was moved it's current location on March Ln.

In addition to compounding medications, Marie's enjoys consulting with patients about bio-identical hormone replacement in all stages of life. 

Ness joined our staff in summer 2024 and has quickly become competent in sterile and non-sterile compounding.  With over 5 years experience in the community pharmacy setting, Ness is driven by a dedication to promoting health and wellness in the community.  As a passionate pharmacist, she is committed to improving patient outcomes through personalized care and comprehensive pharmaceutical services.

Sonia has 10 years experience in retail and long term care pharmacy.

She earned her BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from UC Davis and her Pharm.D. at Union University in Jackson, TN. Prior to becoming a pharmacist, she worked as a lab tech, pharmacy tech, and tutored and mentored students.

Sonia came to Pacific Compounding in fall 2024 with a passion to create custom medications and provide unique solutions for patients. With business and management experience, she hopes to help the pharmacy provide more for our community. 

She enjoys spending time with family and recently learned to camp and fish! She is also  involved with youth sports and Cub Scouts. Coffee, red wine, sushi, steak and dark chocolate are ways to heart, but a good green juice brings her joy!

Monse joined our team over a year ago. She says, " I love working here, being able to fulfill patient's orders and hear how happy they are when we  go above an beyond for them." Monse is active in many rolls at the pharmacy including communications clerk, inventory orders, and typing assistant. 

Working with the pharmacists and learning how to communicate with doctors has inspired her to work harder in school to get her Bachelor's and Master's degrees to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.
