What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values teamwork, and emphasizes operational excellence.

I am a results-driven professional with a strong background in pharmacy operations and project management. With nearly nine years of experience in the pharmacy field, I have honed my skills in managing teams, optimizing processes, and driving operational efficiency. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, which laid the foundation for my career in pharmacy. I have successfully completed a pharmacy technician program and earned my certification, allowing me to excel in various roles within the healthcare sector.

Currently, I serve as a Pharmacy Technician Operations Supervisor at Children's Hospital Colorado, where I lead a team of operational technicians, oversee medication preparation, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. My commitment to fostering a positive organizational culture and my ability to manage complex projects have been key to my success. I am passionate about mentoring future pharmacy technicians and have experience as a primary instructor, where I have facilitated learning and skill development for students.
