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 />
