What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply health, safety and pharmacy experience to improve compliance and workplace wellbeing, with opportunities for community engagement and professional growth.

I am a health-and-safety-focused professional with experience coordinating hazardous waste operations at a major logistics company, combined with a background in pharmacy practice and healthcare education. I bring strong communication, team collaboration and problem-solving skills, and I have led safety coaching, facility audits, wellness training and community engagement activities.

I have worked in pharmacy roles, lectured in pharmaceutical subjects, and managed production teams, which gives me a practical blend of clinical knowledge and operational leadership. I am committed to driving positive workplace safety culture, ensuring regulatory compliance, and supporting community and volunteer initiatives.
