What I'm looking for
I am a healthcare leader with over 25 years of experience spanning pharmacy operations, advanced practice nursing, clinical education, and quality. I have directed pharmacy and compounding operations, established 503B processes, and led clinical programs that brought multiple sterile and nonsterile products to market.
My strengths include developing patient-centric educational strategies, designing sterile clean room protocols compliant with USP standards, and implementing data-driven quality systems. I have served in interim C-suite roles, directed research and development for drug products, and trained multidisciplinary teams in infusion and compounding practices.
