What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered role where I can apply medication safety, counseling, and inventory management skills, contribute to quality improvement, and grow professionally within a collaborative healthcare team.

I am a dedicated pharmacist with experience across hospital and community pharmacy settings, committed to improving patient outcomes through medication therapy management, patient education, and strict inventory control. I have verified prescriptions, advised medical staff on dosages and interactions, and contributed to quality improvement initiatives that enhanced patient safety protocols.

In addition to inpatient pharmacy work, I have dispensed medications in retail settings, counseled patients on OTC and prescription therapies, and supported senior pharmacists during internship duties. I bring strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, paired with certifications in ICDL, basic first aid, medication therapy management, and regulatory compliance.
