“

I am passionate about developing future pharmacists ready to tackle healthcare issues with innovative and entrepreneurial solutions that ultimately improve patient care. My goal as an educator is to encourage learners to take a patient-centered approach to healthcare and consider the individual needs of the patient, as I do in my own pharmacy practice. I also strive to expose students to the expanding roles and opportunities for pharmacists, inspiring them to create pharmacy services that target the healthcare Triple Aim of improving the experience of care, improving population health, and reducing costs.
