Why did I choose to complete a residency?
With my varied interests in informatics, transitions of care, ambulatory care, and internal medicine, pursuing a pharmacy residency was the natural next step for me to expand my clinical background and further explore my career interests. The experience that I gain from residency will be a step towards attaining the high level of clinical knowledge that many of my mentors have demonstrated in their practice.

Why did I choose St. Joseph’s Hospital at BayCare?
After working at BayCare as a Certified Nursing Assistant and then continuing at St. Joseph’s Hospital as a pharmacy intern, I was excited to bring these previous experiences I had into a residency here. Since it was the largest of the BayCare institutions, the hospital provided avenues for exploring all of my diverse interests. St. Joseph’s Hospital has fostered a supportive learning environment, and I look forward to learning more from the pharmacy staff.
