I was the first pharmacist on staff at the UNC Hospital in Hillsborough, <br />and I have been serving in the outpatient oncology clinic since Spring 2015. <br />In my professional scholarship, I have been an advocate for standardization to promote <br />efficiency and reduce errors- I developed and published a checklist to this end for <br />chemotherapy, and the paper won an award from the Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice as <br />one of their best articles of the year. <br />My pharmacy experience and familiarity with Orange County have well-prepared me for this <br />position. I currently work with a vulnerable population of oncology/hematology patients, many <br />who are from the more rural areas of Orange County. I spent five years building cancer <br />treatment pathways, which included collaborative decision-making on a team of health <br />professionals and communicating that information out to a large network of providers. In my <br />current position, I co-chair a policy committee with nurses, pharmacists, and physicians across <br />the UNC-Health Network. I have experience writing agendas and moderating meetings. <br />5
