Practice Philosophy:
As an ambulatory care pharmacist, my goal is to build ever-lasting relationships with the patients that I care for. This means viewing them through a lens that is beyond their chronic disease states or their list of medications. Teaching others how to comprehensively care of complex patient populations is a growing passion of mine as I navigate through my career. I hope to lead the legacy of practitioners who are compassionate, caring, and extremely thoughtful of a care plan that best suits their patients despite their circumstances.
