What I do

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy's Medication Outcomes Center. Currently, my research focuses on comparative pharmacoepidemiology of treating multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. My interests are infectious disease study methodologies and leadership/change management to innovate effective antimicrobial stewardship and prescribing strategies in the outpatient setting.

In addition to research focus, I teach epidemiology, study design, and infectious disease pharmacotherapy in the School of Pharmacy curriculum. I precept and mentor pharmacy students and residents on infectious diseases research and quality improvement projects.
