Her research focuses on three high-impact critical care areas: fluid resuscitation protocols in sepsis, treatment strategies for invasive candidiasis in medically critically ill populations, and pharmacotherapy optimization during advanced cardiovascular life support scenarios. These interests stem directly from her ICU practice and aim to address life-threatening conditions through evidence-based medication interventions.

No scientific awards or honors were documented in the provided text. The absence of student advising records or grant information suggests her role emphasizes clinical teaching over formal graduate supervision. She operates within UK HealthCare's Medical ICU team, applying research insights to bedside care while contributing to pharmacy education through her adjunct faculty position.
