Biography
I am the Lead Specialty Practice Pharmacist in Infectious Diseases at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. My professional focus includes general infectious diseases, antimicrobial and laboratory stewardship, and vaccine related care. I am dedicated to improving patient outcomes through evidence based antimicrobial use and multidisciplinary collaboration.
My work is centered on making sure antibiotics and other infection fighting medicines are used in the safest and most effective way possible. I study how infections spread, how lab tests can guide treatment decisions, and how to choose the best medications to fight germs.
I value the innovative environment at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and the opportunity to advance antimicrobial stewardship initiatives. I am passionate about improving patient care, reducing unnecessary antibiotic use, and contributing to cutting edge approaches that support healthier outcomes for our community.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
