Teaching Philosophy

I believe that health and access to healthcare is a human right, and as a pain management pharmacist, my role is to collaborate with patients and interprofessional teams towards goals of wellbeing.  In my role as a clinical pharmacist preceptor, I support the importance of learners and the vital roles they serve in healthcare and encourage them to acknowledge and appreciate the roles they will play as clinicians, leaders, and professionals.   

​

As a new teacher, I am honored and humbled by this opportunity and do not take the responsibility for granted nor think of teaching as a required task.  I plan to continue challenging myself to become a high-quality preceptor and teacher through feedback and additional training.  I want my knowledge and skills to be valuable across pharmacy learners as well as other healthcare professionals.  To do this, I am dedicated to teaching in and out of the pharmacy profession, precepting both students and residents in pharmacy and medicine in clinical settings and seeking feedback from learners and peers alike.
