What I'm looking for

Seeking a role in pharmaceutical projects or research where I can utilize my expertise in oncology, regulatory compliance, and patient care to drive innovation and ensure high standards of accuracy.

I am a passionate and detail-oriented pharmacist with over seven years of experience across various fields, including oncology, hospital, research, wholesale, and community pharmacy. My journey began with a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, which I completed with distinction in 2017. Since then, I have honed my skills in regulatory compliance, quality assurance, and interdisciplinary collaboration, ensuring the highest standards of patient care and operational efficiency.

In my role as a Mixing Oncology Pharmacist at Hopelands Cancer Centre, I managed the entire oncology unit, overseeing drug ordering, stock management, and financial administration. I also focused on direct patient care, education, and clinical decision-making, utilizing company-specific software for billing and monitoring patient authorizations. My ability to multitask, communicate effectively, and maintain sterility in a high-stakes environment has been instrumental in preventing workflow disruptions and minimizing hazardous drug exposure.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), and regulatory compliance. My experience includes managing distribution warehouses, supervising teams, and ensuring adherence to federal laws and local regulations. I am committed to advancing pharmaceutical projects, supporting healthcare innovation, and contributing to the well-being of patients and communities.
