I am an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at VCOM-Auburn where I also teach Pharmacology for Bluefield University's MHSA Anesthesiology Assistant program. I completed my undergraduate studies at Auburn University, before earning my PharmD. from the University of Florida. I sit on the several committees including the Alabama Board of Pharmacy. Â

Research Interests
My research interests are 3D-printing and diabetic ulcerations. Â The goal of this research is to develop genetically targeted, patient-specific medications. Â This will allow our medication therapies to have an enhanced therapeutic effect with fewer toxicities.
Also, I have an interest in COVID-19 vaccinations with two parts. First, I would like to see pharmacy technicians be able to give vaccinations and collect data regarding this effort. Â This is something that is already happening in some of our states and it will most likely be allowed in our state (Alabama) by the beginning of the year. Â Second, I would like to see if we could tabulate the adverse effects seen with the vaccine.
