What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused pharmacy role where I can apply clinical training and industry experience, grow professionally, and contribute to safe medication use.

I am a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) graduate from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology with hands-on clinical and industry experience. My training includes rotations at Sunyani Teaching Hospital and multiple hospital and community pharmacy placements.

I have completed internships in pharmaceutical marketing and industry settings, including Palb Pharmaceuticals and Salom Pharmaceuticals, and served as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Pharmacognosy. These roles strengthened my patient care, pharmaceutical knowledge, and teaching abilities.

My practical placements span community pharmacies, hospitals, and industry, where I developed strong attention to detail, customer service, and the ability to work with minimal supervision. I also completed a certificate in Virtual Assistance, enhancing my digital organization and client-support skills.

I am motivated to apply my clinical training and pharmaceutical industry experience in a patient-focused role that values continuous learning, accurate medication management, and collaborative care.
