Nicole has been working with Nelson Pharmasave since 2009. She has her Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy from the University of Saskatchewan. She loves working with the staff at Nelson Pharmasave. When she is not helping customers with their health related questions she is busy at home with her family.

I have returned to Pharmasave with 27 years of retail experience in the pharmacy sector. I grew up in Terrace and relocated to the Lower Mainland to start a career in pharmacy. My husband and I moved to Castlegar in 2009 and have never looked back. I have worked in many different roles including pharmacy assistant, cosmetician, head cashier, supervisor, and management. For my downtime I love spending time with my family – my husband, our 23 year old son, and our 7 year old son and of course I can’t for get about our 12 year old cat. I also enjoy baking, hiking, swimming, gardening, and more recently, painting.

Kyla enjoys building new relationships with her dieters as well as helping them achieve their health and weight loss goals.
