What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and allows me to enhance patient care through innovative pharmacy practices.

I am a dedicated pharmacist with extensive experience in community pharmacy and hospital settings. My journey in pharmacy began with a Bachelor of Pharmacy from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where I developed a strong foundation in pharmaceutical sciences. Over the years, I have honed my skills in medication dispensing, patient counseling, and inventory management, ensuring that I provide the highest quality of care to my clients.

Currently, I serve as a Technical Assistant at the ECEWS ACE-5 Project, where I lead initiatives to enhance access to antiretroviral therapy for HIV patients. My role involves not only dispensing medications but also providing adherence counseling and monitoring drug therapy problems. I take pride in my ability to support clients in navigating their treatment journeys, ensuring they receive the necessary care and support to maintain their health.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to continuous learning and professional development. I have actively participated in various projects aimed at improving pharmacy practices and patient outcomes. My goal is to leverage my expertise to contribute to a healthcare team that values patient-centered care and innovation in pharmacy practice.
