DR. OKENNA OPARAH, PHARM. D.

Dr. Okenna Oparah is a first generation immigrant from Nigeria. Watching his parents navigate their path from penniless to the middle class gifted him with a passion for the value of education and personal finance. Growing up without a lot of money instilled him with an appreciation for the power of self-discipline, planning, and entrepreneurship. 

Dr. Oparah received his doctorate in pharmacy from Mercer University and found after graduation that building a career is significantly different from building a GPA. He wrote an ebook "Escaping Retail: A Quick and Dirty Guide for Pharmacists Who Want to Grow Past Retail" to help pharmacists who are navigating their own careers. He offers pharmacy specific information at www.escapingretail.com

Dr. Oparah is currently working on creating a personal finance and student loan consulting curriculum that he can share to empower people who are interested in their self-actualization.

Dr. Oparah and his wife, Lakeisha Joyner, have a heart for sharing the power of budgeting, financial literacy, and self-improvement with their communities.
