“I am excited to submit my name for consideration as a candidate for the position of President-Elect of HOPA!

"I currently serve as a Board Member At-Large and have been an active HOPA member for over 20 years. Over a career that has spanned multiple institutions, roles, and practice settings, I have consistently connected with and found a home within HOPA. As a young practitioner, the organization supported me as I took my first steps in professional development and clinical practice delivery. As I grew in my clinical comfort, HOPA meetings and other members served as strong mentors and sounding boards to help me develop and evolve my practice and my professional reputation. As a residency program director and educational leader, HOPA was a strong example of how to advance practice while remaining committed to the educational needs of learners. Now as an oncology leader, I find that HOPA meetings, activities, resources, and initiatives help me to better support, retain, advocate for, and champion the needs and goals of the oncology pharmacy community.

"It has been a longstanding professional goal of mine to continue to give back to the organizations, like HOPA, that have given so much to me. I hope to use my time in leadership within our organization to ensure that as many members as possible feel 'at home in HOPA.'

"Thank you for your consideration and your support!"
