What is your or your sites philosophy on educating students and/or providing pharmacy services?
My philosophy on educating future pharmacists centers on developing confident, patient-centered clinicians who are adaptable, accountable, and committed to lifelong learning. As pharmacy continues to evolve beyond traditional dispensing roles, education must intentionally cultivate clinical reasoning, interprofessional collaboration, and leadership skills while reinforcing core values of compassion and integrity.
What is a fun fact about you or the site?
Outside of pharmacy, I’m building a small farm with the goal of becoming fully self‑sufficient—growing and raising the food that eventually makes it to our table!
