On November 21, Donna Matty visited BPHS, teaching students about her occupation.

Matty is a Clinical Pharmacist. She attended University of Pittsburgh, planning to attend medical school.

Six months prior to graduating from pharmacy school, Matty was hired by a major pharmaceutical company after responding to an ad posted in the New York Times.
