What I'm looking for

I am seeking a patient-focused pharmacy role where I can apply dispensing expertise, improve operational workflows, mentor staff, and prepare for pharmacist licensing.

I am a detail-oriented pharmacy professional with three years of community pharmacy experience in Canada and prior experience as a licensed pharmacist internationally. I combine technical dispensing skills with strong patient communication and administrative abilities to support safe, efficient pharmacy operations.

At Walmart Pharmacy I optimized blister-pack workflows, creating a tracking calendar that increased central fill utilization by 40% and earned recognition from leadership. Previously, as a licensed pharmacist in the Philippines, I reduced store shrinkage by 60%, sustained a 90%+ customer satisfaction rating for three years, and coached pharmacy assistants to improve team performance.

I recently completed a Diploma in Office Administration – Health Services with honours and practical experience at a children's hospital, improving scheduling and communication tools. I am preparing for Canadian federal pharmacist licensing examinations and seeking opportunities to contribute clinical expertise, operational improvements, and patient-centered service.
