Dr. Hyte received her Doctor of Pharmacy from Auburn University School of Pharmacy in 2002 and completed a Pharmacy Practice Residency at Huntsville Hospital in Huntsville, Alabama in 2003 where she received practical experience treating various diagnoses in diverse patient populations. Following her residency training, she served as a clinical pharmacist in an inpatient setting where she gained experience in all areas of inpatient pharmacy. Dr. Hyte then transitioned to a specialized position as the Antimicrobial Stewardship Coordinator at a different facility and developed an antimicrobial stewardship program that later became an Infectious Disease Society of America Antimicrobial Stewardship Center of Excellence in 2020. This specialized position afforded her the opportunity to serve as a preceptor for both pharmacy residents and students. In addition, she provided lectures to family medicine and internal medicine medical residents on a regular basis.  In 2021, she became a Board-Certified Infectious Diseases Pharmacist (BCIDP) from the Board of Pharmacy Specialties. In late 2021, Dr. Hyte had a two-fold changeover from clinical pharmacy practice to academia and research when she joined the faculty of VCOM-Auburn. She enjoys teaching pharmacology in the first and second year of the pre-clinical curriculum, mentoring students and pursuing her scholarly interests.
