What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered role in a collaborative healthcare team where I can lead pharmacy operations, strengthen pharmacovigilance, and advance public health through evidence-based care.

I am a detailed-oriented pharmacist with comprehensive experience across hospital and community pharmacy settings, committed to ethical patient care and rational drug use.

I have held pharmacist roles at multiple hospitals and pharmaceutical settings, leading pharmacy operations, contributing to formulary and policy development, and strengthening pharmacovigilance protocols.

My practice emphasizes patient education, inventory and stock management, clinical participation, and quality improvement initiatives to enhance safety and service delivery.

I am motivated to support public health initiatives, mentor others, and apply evidence-based pharmaceutical care to improve patient outcomes and regulatory compliance.
