I’m the vice president of Patient Services. I am responsible for all of the Allied Health Divisions, including the Division of Audiology, Child Life & Integrative Care, Pharmacy, Nutrition, Occupational and Physical Therapies, Respiratory Care, Social Services, Speech-Language Pathology, the Center for Spiritual and Grief Care, Volunteer Services and Disability Services (including Project SEARCH) at Cincinnati Children’s.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Pharmacy and Master of Pharmacy Administration degrees from the James L Winkle College of Pharmacy at the University of Cincinnati and my Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Florida College of Pharmacy. I have over 35 years of work experience in pharmacy management and hospital administration.

During my time as chief of pharmacy, I enhanced the Medication Safety Program and the Drug Diversion Investigation Program, increased revenue, implemented automation and implemented the 340b Drug Purchasing Program. I am involved in many hospital-wide programs, committees and initiatives. I’m honored to be a member of the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists and an adjunct assistant professor of Clinical Pharmacy at the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy at the University of Cincinnati.

When I’m not working, I enjoy playing golf and gardening.
