What I'm looking for
I’m a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPS) with 9+ years of experience performing comprehensive medication reviews in hospital and health system settings. I evaluate prescription requests for medical necessity, appropriateness, and guideline adherence using evidence-based criteria, with a strong focus on safety, efficacy, and documentation quality.
In my current role as a Clinical Pharmacist at Saint Anthony North Hospital (CommonSpirit Health), I conduct high-volume clinical consults across anticoagulation, pharmacokinetics, renal dosing, TPN, and medication reconciliation. I document clinical assessments and recommendations in Epic EHR to support continuity of care and audit readiness, while communicating clear options and rationale to providers.
Previously, I supported medication procurement and pharmacy operations at Intermountain Lutheran Hospital, aligning formulary preferences and cost-containment strategies with clinical appropriateness. I managed drug shortages using evidence-based alternatives, maintained controlled substance compliance with organized audit-ready documentation, and contributed to medication-use policy and workflow improvements to reduce error and improve efficiency.
