Research
I completed both a PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency and a PGY-2 Residency in Ambulatory Care, which shaped my passion for ambulatory care practice and chronic disease state management. My academic and clinical interests focus on optimizing medication therapy and improving outcomes for patients with conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. I practice in a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), where I serve underserved patient populations and work to reduce barriers to healthcare access. I am particularly interested in advancing patient-centered care through interdisciplinary collaboration, education, and preventive health services. Through teaching, clinical practice, and scholarship, I aim to prepare future pharmacists to address the complex needs of diverse patient populations.
