andrew.howell@selfregional.org
Hi! I’m Drew, originally from Rochelle, a small town in middle Georgia. I earned my PharmD from the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy in Athens, GA (Go Dawgs!). My current clinical interests include infectious disease, cardiology, and critical care. When I’m not at work, I enjoy staying active by playing sports like pickleball and volleyball, working out, playing video games, and watching anime. I chose Self Regional for its enthusiastic preceptors, the close-knit feel of a smaller health system, the success of past residency classes, and the diverse rotations available. Upon completing my PGY1, I’m confident I’ll be well-prepared to either pursue a PGY2 or enter the workforce as a clinically skilled pharmacist.
Kyli Latimer, PharmD
Education: Presbyterian College School of Pharmacy
kyli.latimer@selfregional.org
I’m from Donalds, SC, and I completed both my undergraduate studies and Doctor of Pharmacy degree at Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC. My pharmacy interests focus on emergency medicine and cardiology. Outside of pharmacy, I love spending time with friends and family, relaxing at the lake, and traveling. Having interned at Self Regional during pharmacy school and completed several APPE rotations here, I experienced firsthand the supportive and welcoming environment. That’s why I chose to complete my PGY1 residency at Self. I’m confident that this experience will provide me with the skills necessary to achieve my professional goals, whether that’s pursuing a PGY2 or beginning my pharmacy career.

grace.kenley@selfregional.org
I’m originally from the Memphis, TN area, and I earned both my PharmD and MPH from Samford University’s McWhorter School of Pharmacy. My primary clinical interests include critical care and internal medicine. Outside of pharmacy, I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors with my dogs, and participating in or watching a variety of sports. I chose Self Regional because of its diverse opportunities in critical care and internal medicine, paired with its warm, supportive environment. I’m confident that completing a PGY1 at Self will equip me with the well-rounded experience needed to excel as a pharmacist and prepare me for a PGY2.

johny.nguyen@selfregional.org
Hey y’all! I’m Johny, originally from Little River, SC. I earned my PharmD from the University of South Carolina College of Pharmacy, and my current areas of interest are academia and infectious disease. When I’m not working, I enjoy playing tennis, exploring new restaurants, and trying out new hobbies—pottery being my most recent adventure! I chose Self Regional for its welcoming atmosphere, strong involvement in pharmacy organizations, and the flexibility of its rotations. I’m excited to complete my PGY1 here, knowing that it will help shape me into a well-rounded clinician, ready to pursue any path I choose after residency.
