Personal: I enjoy attending Southern Miss athletic events (Go Eagles! SMTTT!), traveling, and spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy learning how to cook many different types of food/cuisine. I grew up in a large, Lebanese-cultured family, so I was taught early in life how to make some excellent food in the kitchen!

Professional Interests: Medication therapy management, chronic disease-state management, implementation and evaluation of pharmacist-led clinical services, outcomes-based research, academia, and advocacy for the advancement of pharmacy practice in Mississippi
