About me

I am a PGY1 Pharmacy Resident at VCU Health who has early committed to PGY2 Oncology at VCU Health. Last May, I graduated from University of North Carolina's Eshelman School of Pharmacy. In the future, I plan on serving hematology/oncology patients at a large academic medical center where I am able to invest my time in research and student/resident learning. Currently, I am a resident member of the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association (HOPA).
