Facility
Sanford Health South University Pharmacy is a health-system hospital pharmacy that also services clinic patients that are seen that day. It has around 75 beds and fills around 250+ outpatient scripts each day.

Recent Significant Projects
I have recently been part of an IV room workgroup to focus on the "always" and "nevers" for cleanroom safety. We are also in the process of creating a workgroup for our retail pharmacy to focus on insurance billing, education, and accurate inventory needs. I assist in our inter-campus transfers and billing and process our DSCSA documents.

Involvement in ASHP
I am a member of the ASHP Council on Pharmacy Practice and a member of the Section of Inpatient Care Practitioners (SICP) Advisory Group on Compounding Practice. As part of my involvement with the councils, I have attended ASHP’s Policy Week and participated in Legislative Day by meeting with members of Congress on Capitol Hill. 

Why did you become involved in ASHP?
I became involved because I believe that pharmacy technicians need to advocate for ourselves and be a part of the changing roles in the pharmacy workforce. I feel honored to be a part of the pharmacy technician voice in our workforce.
