About Me

Within my role at WSU, I have the opportunity to teach, practice clinically and pursue research. Within the PharmD curriculum, I teach a variety of required courses such as Health Care Systems for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Management, and deliver lectures on substance use disorders. I also teach an elective course specializing in substance use disorders. I practice clinically treating patients with substance use disorders as the on site clinical lead for the WSU Research Clinic where we see patients enrolled in clinical trials for innovative ways to treat substance use disorders. I am deeply committed to community outreach, delivering naloxone trainings, and advocating for evidence-based medicine in a culturally equitable manner.

In my spare time I like to…

I love to hike, to run (mostly long distances) and to hang out with my dog and husband!

Why WSU?

I love the Coug culture. There is a connectedness within WSU where you feel like you belong. I really appreciate the support that comes with that network.
