Dossier Introduction & Purpose Statement

August 2026
This narrative statement is guided by the Department of Pharmacy Practice Tenure and Promotion Evaluation Elaborations document and the University of Toledo Guidelines for Faculty Evaluation of Tenure and Promotion document.

The purpose of this dossier is to document the continued development and impact of my professional career at The University of Toledo following the award of tenure in Fall 2024. This document highlights my progression from a clinical lecturer to a tenured faculty member, academic leader, and contributor to institutional assessment and accreditation efforts. It reflects my sustained commitment to excellence in teaching, scholarship, assessment, and service in support of the mission of the College and University.

I completed a PGY-1 Residency in Community Pharmacy at The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in partnership with The Kroger Co. from 2011–2012. In 2012, I joined The University of Toledo as a Clinical Lecturer in the Department of Pharmacy Practice. During my four years as a lecturer, my primary responsibilities included teaching in the PharmD skills laboratory curriculum, providing diabetes education services through clinical practice, conducting practice-related research, and serving on the Curriculum Committee. Upon transitioning to a tenure-track faculty position in July 2016, I continued these responsibilities as they aligned with College needs for experiential training and supported my research focus at that time.

My work on the Curriculum Committee led to my appointment as PharmD Skills Lab Coordinator in 2016. In this role, I helped implement new skills laboratory courses, supported vertical integration of skills development, and advanced assessment of student learning outcomes. This work naturally shifted my scholarly focus toward the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), particularly related to skills development, course design, and assessment of student learning.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, my in-person clinical practice activities were paused and transitioned to remote services from March 2020 through summer 2021. While this temporarily reduced opportunities for clinical practice research, it created opportunities to expand my SoTL work, particularly related to virtual instruction, course adaptation, and student learning in remote environments.

In July 2021, I was appointed Director of Assessment, reflecting my growing expertise in educational assessment, curriculum evaluation, and accreditation processes. In this role, I lead assessment initiatives for the PharmD program and support assessment and accreditation activities across the College’s academic programs. These responsibilities align closely with my professional interests in educational quality improvement and have allowed me to contribute to accreditation preparation, continuous quality improvement processes, and institutional reporting efforts. This administrative leadership role has also strengthened the integration of my teaching, scholarship, and service activities.

Since achieving tenure in Fall 2024, I have continued to expand my leadership contributions in assessment, accreditation preparation, and educational innovation while maintaining my strong commitment to teaching and mentoring students. My work increasingly focuses on advancing programmatic assessment processes, supporting accreditation readiness, improving educational effectiveness, and contributing to institutional strategic priorities.

This dossier provides evidence of my continued growth and contributions as a tenured Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice across the areas of teaching, professional activity, and service. As I move forward in my career, I remain committed to advancing educational quality, supporting student success, contributing to the scholarship of teaching and learning, and serving the College and profession through leadership in assessment and accreditation. I am grateful for the continued opportunities to contribute to the mission of the College to educate future pharmacists and advance pharmaceutical education.
