What I'm looking for
I am a passionate pharmacist with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Ohio Northern University, where I graduated in May 2022. My journey in pharmacy has equipped me with extensive experience in various settings, including community, hospital, and ambulatory care. I have a strong commitment to patient education and medication management, ensuring that patients understand their treatment regimens and feel supported throughout their healthcare journey.
Throughout my career, I have managed workflow procedures, created non-sterile compounds, and conducted medication therapy management. My role at Aries Pharmacy has allowed me to advocate for patients, consult with healthcare professionals, and administer vaccinations. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to optimize patient outcomes and enhance medication safety.
In addition to my clinical experience, I have been actively involved in community outreach, participating in vaccination clinics and providing health education. I am dedicated to continuous learning and professional development, holding various certifications, including Medication Therapy Management and Advanced Cardiac Life Support. I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to a dynamic healthcare team focused on improving patient care.
