What I'm looking for

I seek clinical or hospital pharmacy roles where I can improve medication safety, support multidisciplinary teams, and grow in quality assurance and operations.

I am a dedicated pharmacist with hands-on experience across hospital, outpatient, and retail pharmacy settings, committed to improving patient care and prescription accuracy. I consistently maintain complete records, perform precise dosage calculations, and counsel patients on safe medication use.

My background includes production and quality control, supply chain and procurement experience, and participation in quality assurance and formulary evaluations. I have delivered services such as BP and glucose monitoring, sterile preparation for procedures, and medication therapy management to support chronic disease detection and adherence.

I bring strong analytical skills, regulatory knowledge, and effective communication to multidisciplinary teams, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and patient outcomes while upholding professional standards and compliance.
