Biography

Originally from Brooklyn, New York, I received my Doctor of Pharmacy Degree from Florida A&M University in 2001. Upon graduation I came to Washington, DC to complete a community pharmacy residency program with Grubbs Care Pharmacy and Howard University. My 20 year career has been  dedicated to increasing the capacity of pharmacists to be a major contributor in the achievement of favorable health outcomes, especially for the underserved population. A recipient of the Bowl of Hyegia Award, I have always been very passionate about the community, coordinating outreach and training programs for all major disease states. In 2002, I co-founded CMS Health Initiatives; a non-profit organization that utilizes pharmacists to address health disparities in HIV/AIDS, Diabetes and Immunizations. My current practice site is a community mental health clinic where I optimize medication regimens. Recently, I have been involved in  responding to the COVID-19 global pandemic by caring for vulnerable patients and coordinating testing. A staunch advocate for the profession, I am an active member of several pharmacy organization on both the local and international level. I have served on numerous committees, task force and working groups to help advance the profession. I also continue to be an active member of the FAMU Alumni Association and a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Rho Mu Omega Chapter.
