Teaching Philosophy
鈥淟earning is more than just memorizing facts and being able to recall them at a later date. Although pharmacists must be able to recall a remarkable amount of information, truly learning the art of pharmacy means students are also able to understand the 鈥榳hy鈥 behind the facts and are able to effectively communicate the information to a patient in a way that they understand. My goal is for students to leave my classroom with the ability to think critically, communicate clearly and serve their communities as a valuable health care resource.鈥
