I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy at the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. As an educator, I teach pharmacy communications and advanced diabetes management, preparing learners for ambulatory care practice using telehealth tools such as remote patient monitoring.
I am a Clinical Pharmacy Specialist at UCHealth Lone Tree Primary Care. My clinical practice focuses on population health management and pharmacotherapy consultations, including chronic disease state management of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. My scholarly work focuses on population health services and the scholarship of teaching and learning, with an emphasis on curricular design.
I currently serve as President of the Colorado Pharmacists Society, and see professional service as an essential component of my role as a pharmacist. Nationally, I am engaged with the American Pharmacists Association, American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, American Diabetes Association, and the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists. I co-host a podcast for the American Diabetes Association called “Diabetes Day by Day” with a mission to empower people living with diabetes or pre-diabetes to be self-advocates and to live their best lives with diabetes.
