As an Assistant Professor of Clinical and Administrative Sciences at Xavier University of Louisiana College of Pharmacy, I contribute to the education and professional development of learners across multiple stages of training. My teaching responsibilities encompass didactic instruction, experiential education, clinical teaching, mentorship, and curricular leadership.

I serve as Co-Coordinator of the Professional Practice course sequence, an introductory series designed to prepare first-year pharmacy students for the profession of pharmacy. In this role, I participate in course planning, content development, instructional delivery, student assessment, and course coordination. The course focuses on foundational patient care skills, communication, professionalism, drug information, and the development of competencies essential for future pharmacy practice.

I also provide didactic instruction in oncology, delivering education on cancer biology, oncology therapeutics, supportive care, and evidence-based treatment strategies. Through these educational activities, I strive to help learners connect foundational sciences with clinical application and develop the critical thinking skills necessary for effective patient care.

My clinical practice as an Ambulatory Oncology Clinical Specialist at University Medical Center New Orleans provides opportunities for experiential and interprofessional education. I precept Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience (IPPE) and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) students, as well as PGY1 and PGY2 pharmacy residents. During these experiences, learners participate in direct patient care activities, multidisciplinary collaboration, patient counseling, treatment plan evaluation, and evidence-based clinical decision-making. I emphasize the development of clinical reasoning, professionalism, communication skills, and lifelong learning habits that are essential for successful pharmacy practice.

In addition to educating pharmacy learners, I provide clinical education and training to oncology medical fellows, contributing to their understanding of oncology pharmacotherapy, supportive care management, medication safety, and evidence-based treatment selection. I also provide educational programs and training for nursing staff, focusing on topics such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy administration, adverse effect management, supportive care strategies, and updates in oncology practice. These activities promote interprofessional collaboration and support the delivery of high-quality, patient-centered cancer care.

Beyond formal instruction, I serve as a mentor and advisor to learners pursuing leadership, research, and professional development opportunities. I am the faculty advisor for the Cancer Research and Education Club and the Alpha Nu Chapter of Kappa Epsilon Professional Pharmacy Fraternity, where I support student engagement in service, scholarship, advocacy, professional growth, and leadership development.

Through all of my teaching activities, I seek to create meaningful learning experiences that challenge learners to think critically, engage actively, and apply knowledge to real-world situations. My goal is to prepare future healthcare professionals to become confident, collaborative, and compassionate practitioners capable of delivering exceptional patient care.
