Meet Andy Bayless!

Andy grew up in Lindon being the 6th of 7 children. He graduated from BYU with a BS in Microbiology. He is now at the University of Utah in Pharmacy School. Andy became involved with SMART during April’s Take Back Events where he used his pharmaceutical knowledge to help sort pills. He stayed on to increase his understanding of the community perception of medication use. Andy has already been a great asset to our coalition by recruiting other pharmacy students to help out with October’s Take Back Events and by helping create SMART Pharmacy Guidelines.

When Andy isn’t busy with school or work, he spends time with his new bride, or they head to shooting range.

Thank you Andy for your work with SMART!
