My main priorities as a practitioner and teacher are to provide high quality, culturally competent patient care and pharmacy education to my patients and students. With the field of pharmacy constantly evolving, it is imperative for student pharmacists to focus on life-long learning and develop critical thinking skills to contribute as active members of the healthcare team. I strive to provide valuable feedback to continually improve the educational experience and create learners who strive to make a difference in the lives of their patients and the community.
