Liesel Schlorke PharmD, MBA is the PGY-1 Community Pharmacy Resident for SpartanNash. She graduated from Ferris State University in 2023 with her graduate degrees, and from Northern Michigan University in 2019 with her Bachelor of Science in Biology. She is originally from Marquette, Michigan, where she worked in community pharmacy for four years before moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan. In Grand Rapids she continued to work in community pharmacy during her graduate studies. Having grown up in a rural area and worked with many patients who have barriers to healthcare access, she has a particular appreciation for pharmacists’ role as the most accessible healthcare providers. She has always had a passion for working with people and her interest in science led her to a career in pharmacy. Within her residency, Liesel has a focus on direct patient care through Medication Therapy Management and works directly with Ferris State University students teaching strategies for providing high quality patient care. Outside of pharmacy, she likes to spend time outdoors with her two dogs- hiking, camping, and kayaking. Liesel and her husband are big travelers and are always planning their next trip. She also loves trying new recipes in the kitchen whether it be cooking or baking and can often be found with her nose in a book.
