What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters professional growth and innovation in patient care.

I am a dedicated Clinical Staff Pharmacist with extensive experience in surgical ICU settings. Currently, I work at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, where I apply my clinical knowledge to optimize patient care and medication management. My journey in pharmacy began with a Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Louisiana Monroe, followed by a PGY1 Pharmacy Practice Residency at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.

Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in various clinical settings, including pharmacy intern roles and as a pharmacy technician. I have contributed to numerous publications and presentations, showcasing my commitment to advancing pharmacy practice. My leadership roles in organizations such as The Rho Chi Society and the APhA-ASP reflect my dedication to the profession and my passion for mentoring future pharmacists.
