Profile Summary

Hello! I am an experienced medical writer with 12 years of experience. I am a clinical pharmacist with a public health background. I have a strong knowledge of student and faculty development programs as an educator. As a researcher, R&D chair, an IRB member, I have experience in regulatory writing, grants, and review and editing of protocols and grants. As a Health Equity advocate, I've implemented and have oversight of quality improvement projects focusing on reducing health disparities. My volunteer work involves policy development and advocacy at the national level with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists on policies pertaining to but not exclusive to Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and Pharmacoequity. My work as a medical writer stems from several years of work with multiple abstracts/posters, patient educational materials for clinic patients, Needs Assessments, SDOH/Health Equity related presentations, and professional materials.
