Dr. Nesreen Mughrabi is a person of many pursuits— pharmacy, fitness and fashion, to name a few. Since earning her PharmD from the University of Minnesota in 2013, she’s been both a personal trainer and the founder of an athletic modestwear company called Yalla.
After 44 years, three months, and seven days of working at Children’s Minnesota Hospital in St. Paul, alumna Lucy Johnson is trying to adjust to retirement.
For Dr. Ben Krolak, occupational therapy (OT) opened new doorways. He originally planned to pursue physical therapy, but the more information he found out about OT, the more it seemed to better align with his personality and interests.
