What I'm looking for
I am a skilled pharmacologist with extensive experience in grant writing, project management, and leading research teams. My academic journey includes a Doctorate of Philosophy in Pharmacology from Jessenius Faculty of Medicine, where I honed my skills in proposal writing and project coordination. I am passionate about advancing drug interaction studies and have successfully led my research team through complex projects, fostering collaboration and innovation.
During my time as a freelance English teacher in Taiwan, I developed strong communication skills and cultural awareness, which enhanced my ability to engage with diverse populations. This experience not only improved my adaptability but also strengthened my problem-solving abilities. I am eager to bring my expertise in pharmacology and interpersonal skills to new job opportunities in Slovakia, contributing to impactful research and development in the field.
