PGY-1–trained clinical pharmacist focused on medication safety and evidence-based care.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Doctor of Pharmacy (PGY-1)–trained clinical pharmacist with experience across acute care, critical care, emergency medicine, infectious diseases, pediatrics, and ambulatory care. I focus on medication safety and high-quality patient outcomes, backed by hands-on medication use evaluations and evidence-based protocol development.
In my training and roles, I have supported interdisciplinary care through research and medical writing, including poster presentations at ASHP and state meetings. I’ve also prepared and graded OSCE exam stations and facilitated microbiology labs, strengthening my ability to communicate clinical knowledge clearly.
Most notably, I contributed to protocol and policy work such as “Evaluation of a Norepinephrine Weight-Based Dosing Protocol Stratified by Type of Shock” and “Medication Use Evaluation of HIT Testing,” including aligning reporting with evidence-based formats and supporting implementation at the facility. I bring a patient-first mindset and a collaborative approach to pharmacists, physicians, nurses, and QA teams.
