About Your Personal Concierge Pharmacist

---

PharmD, FASCP, BCPS, BCGP, BCIDP

Founder and Director of Clinical Services

I started and ran several businesses and has held senior leadership positions at a number of healthcare organizations. I develop and lead programs that helps stakeholders use and advance medication management tools (e.g., formularies, pharmacy, and therapeutics committees and medication therapy management), quality metrics, research methodologies, and health information technology. I am a Clinical Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University and Adjunct Professor at Arizona College of Nursing and have co-authored numerous papers in my areas of research, including infectious diseases, antimicrobial stewardship, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacogenomics, and therapies in the lung transplant and geriatric populations. 

I started and operationalized system-level programs at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). I have experience in medication utilization statistical analyses to demonstrate adherence to evidence-based practice guidelines and inform health program policies. I examine pharmacoeconomic trends and strives to ensure a cost-effective pharmacy benefit is administered to members, as well as consult with the care management team to provide guidance regarding member goals. 

I also conduct physician training and staff education regarding medication trends/utilization, identification and mitigation for potential medication fraud, waste and abuse, and collaborate in disease management/population health programs.

Ultimately, I help fix medication use problems. 

This is not about me. This is about you and your journey, together.
