What I'm looking for

I seek a pharmacist role in community or ambulatory care focusing on HIV/TB care, antimicrobial stewardship, public health policy, teaching, and clinical research with opportunities to precept and lead quality-improvement initiatives.

I am a licensed pharmacist and PGY-1 community-based resident with a PharmD and an MHSA, trained in ambulatory care, community pharmacy operations, and public-health programming. I combine clinical dispensing experience with telehealth medication management under collaborative practice agreements.

I have conducted clinical research on HIV and substance use disorders, co-authored a peer-reviewed publication, and presented findings at regional and national meetings. My residency work includes antimicrobial stewardship, TB and HIV specialty pharmacy operations, medication therapy management, and quality-improvement projects focused on access and equity.

I precept students, develop continuing-education content, and engage in health policy work to translate clinical practice into better population outcomes. I seek to apply clinical expertise, teaching experience, and policy insight to improve medication use and patient access in community and ambulatory settings.
