What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an inpatient/hospital pharmacy internship where I can strengthen medication order review, patient-focused counseling, and sterile/IV compounding using strong aseptic technique and safety standards.

I’m a Doctor of Pharmacy student at Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) and an inpatient pharmacy intern at Cleveland Clinic Medina Hospital, where I support pharmacists in delivering safe, effective patient care through medication preparation, order review, and interdisciplinary collaboration with physicians and nurses.

My experience also includes working as a Retail Pharmacy Technician and intern, where I prepared prescriptions, managed medication dispensing, and counseled patients on proper medication use. In the hospital setting, I am IV room trained with hands-on experience in sterile compounding and IV medication preparation while following strict aseptic and safety standards.

I am passionate about patient-centered care, medication management, and continuing to grow clinically and professionally within pharmacy practice. I bring strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset to every team I work with. In addition, I stay actively involved through leadership roles in the Student National Pharmaceutical Association and professional organizations such as the American Pharmacists Association.
