My research interests are:

1. Improving medication use outcomes for patients using pharmacist interventions,
2. Development and validation of patient-reported outcome measures (PROs),
3. Educational assessment and outcomes
4. Leadership, self-awareness, grit, and the growth mindset in student pharmacists

My focus is on disseminating information to the profession, the health care community at large, and policymakers via publications and professional networks. These areas of interest are a synergy of my training in health outcomes with my background as a pharmacist.
