Clinical pharmacist specializing in telepharmacy and medication management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated clinical pharmacist with extensive experience in both retail and clinical environments. My journey in pharmacy began with my education at the University of Houston, where I earned my Pharm. D. in 2022. Since then, I have honed my skills in various roles, including my current position as a Clinical Telepharmacist at PipelineRx, where I provide telepharmacy services and medication therapy management to optimize patient outcomes.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to enhancing pharmacy operations and patient care. My experience at OptumRx as a Clinical Appeals/Prior Authorization Pharmacist allowed me to ensure compliance with clinical guidelines while managing complex cases. I am proficient in numerous hospital systems, including Epic and Meditech, which enables me to deliver effective and efficient patient care. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with healthcare professionals and patients alike, ensuring that every individual receives the best possible care.
