Professional Interests
I am interested in academia, infectious diseases, and population health. My research passion lies in the nexus of pharmacy and public health, where I can apply my expertise in drug information to tackle health inequities. I believe that pharmacists are key players in the healthcare system who can improve health outcomes for diverse populations through public health interventions.

Why did you become involved in ASHP?
I wanted to meet other pharmacy leaders to develop programs and projects that will advance our field.

What would you tell others if asked how to get involved with ASHP?
Consider participating in the ASHP Guided Mentorship Program. 

What unique characteristic/perspective do you bring to your everyday work or the pharmacy profession?
My public health background has provided me with a deep understanding of how social determinants influence health outcomes and healthcare systems. This knowledge has enabled me to recognize and address the structural obstacles that may hinder patient well-being and devise solutions that can overcome these challenges.

What do you like to do for fun? What are some of your interests/hobbies outside of pharmacy?
Gym, singing, and dancing! 

What advice would you give to other new practitioners?
Seek the company of those with different perspectives than yourself and discover how they charted their path to their chosen profession. Learn from their challenges, wisdom, and craft.
