I have been in pharmacy education as both faculty and preceptor since the beginning of my career. I am just as excited today about the role we have in shaping the future of pharmacy as I was when I started. Early in my career, I recognized the important role organizations such as ASHP have in the development of our pharmacy workforce. Pharmacy education and postgraduate training are facing many challenges. From workplace conditions to enrollment and the changing needs of our learners, we have much to address. I believe it is within our Section Advisory Groups that we lay the groundwork for the resources that will help us tackle our current challenges.
My roles as faculty, preceptor, and previous residency program director have allowed me to gain an in-depth understanding of the unique challenges faced by our pharmacy educators. In my various roles within ASHP and the Section of Pharmacy Educators, I have worked to help identify and address the diverse needs our members encounter through teaching and training. The work accomplished within the first 3 years of the Section of Pharmacy Educators has been great, and I am happy to have been a part of this group.
I look forward to continuing to work with the Section to address the changing needs of both our learners and educators. With my history of service and leadership within ASHP, I am prepared and would be honored to serve as director-at-large.
