Biography

Why did you choose Michigan's residency program? What really drew me to Michigan Medicine were the comprehensive opportunities offered, with the wide range of inpatient and outpatient psychiatric pharmacy services, involvement with teaching of the medical residents and at the college of pharmacy, and precepting. From my first interaction with the program, I knew that I would be valued and supported, but ultimately challenged to develop as an independent and effective psychiatric clinical pharmacist.
