Practice Philosophy:
Pharmacists are equipped with valuable drug knowledge that can be applied in many different corners of the ambulatory care setting. For this reason, I strive to provide and assist in comprehensive medication management even when serving very specialized populations. As someone who works with high-cost medications, I serve as a patient advocate—ensuring therapies are safe and sustainable, providing education to improve understanding and adherence, and facilitating care and follow up as part of the patient’s healthcare team.

Bio:
