Hayley Dodge, Client Engagement Specialist, Guardian Pharmacy Services

Dodge works as an events and client-engagement professional for Guardian Pharmacy, bringing ideas to life and turning a good time for a client into business gained or retained for a company. She is a multitalented professional with a demonstrated history of successfully working in many different environments, wearing various hats in each. Between walking through Iowa cornfields pulling tassels off cornstalks at 14 and helping drive strategies to keep long-term care residents safe during a global pandemic, Dodge found herself selling tickets to fans and businesses for the Philadelphia 76ers and wedding dresses to brides-to-be. Through all her robust experience, Dodge finds herself most passionate about how she can assist in making an idea come to life through event planning, vendor management, and sales efforts. And when she’s not working, you can find Dodge outside with her Bernese mountain dog or at her local yoga studio.
