What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement in patient care.

As a dedicated long-term care pharmacist with over 12 years of experience, I specialize in optimizing medication therapy for geriatric and high-risk populations. My expertise lies in clinical consulting and closed-door dispensing practices, where I have successfully delivered over 1200 monthly Medication Regimen Reviews (MRRs) and provided actionable clinical recommendations to enhance patient outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to manage psychotropic medication regimens and collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary teams. My commitment to regulatory compliance and quality improvement initiatives has led to significant achievements, including a 46% reduction in inappropriate polypharmacy within five months at a skilled nursing facility. I am passionate about leveraging technology and telehealth platforms to deliver high-quality pharmaceutical care remotely, ensuring that patients receive the best possible treatment.
