What I'm looking for

I seek patient-focused pharmacy roles where I can apply dispensing accuracy, inventory and billing skills, collaborate with a supportive team, and grow in pharmacy operations.

I am a Pharmacy Assistant trained in Healthcare Administration and Service Management with hands-on experience at community and compounding pharmacies. I specialize in prescription processing, blister-pack preparation, third-party billing adjudication, inventory management, and patient communication.

I have worked across multiple Shoppers Drug Mart locations and Pharmasave, performing prescription data entry, medication verification, and assisting pharmacists to ensure safe, accurate dispensing and compliance with regulatory standards.

I bring strong communication, team collaboration, time management, and technical skills (Microsoft Office, Kroll software, Microsoft Teams) along with certifications in COVID-19 training and CPR/First Aid to support efficient pharmacy operations and positive patient outcomes.
