What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can oversee pharmacy operations, strengthen medication safety and documentation, and expand clinical services like MTM, immunizations, and screenings within a compliant, patient-centered team.

I’m an experienced, highly motivated Pharmacist with over 10 years of experience in both hospital and community pharmacy settings. As Pharmacy Director, I monitor dispensing, ensure patient prescriptions are reviewed and screened for contraindications and adverse drug interactions, and educate patients on proper medication usage, potential side effects, and correct dosages.

I oversee expanded care offerings such as medication therapy management (MTM), immunizations, and health screenings, while maintaining strong regulatory compliance—especially for restricted/controlled medications, secure storage, strict logging, and auditing. I’ve also developed daily operational systems that maximize speed, efficiency, and safety, and I collaborate closely with physicians and healthcare professionals to support patients and optimize outcomes through activities like drug utilization reviews.
