What I'm looking for

I seek pharmacy roles where I can apply dispensing, pharmacovigilance, and inventory skills in a collaborative, patient-focused setting with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a reliable and dedicated pharmacist with broad experience across community, hospital, and industrial pharmacy settings. I specialize in dispensing, pharmacovigilance, inventory control, and patient counseling to promote rational drug use.

Throughout multiple internships and locum roles, I supported medication reconciliation, prescription review, GMP-compliant production support, and controlled-medicine inventory management. I have experience participating in ward rounds, health promotion, and quality-control activities.

I have demonstrated strong communication and teamwork, supervising support staff and strengthening client relations while maintaining regulatory and safety standards. I actively participated in professional development activities including pharmacovigilance and reproductive health training.

I am preparing for the PPB Board Examination (scheduled November 2025) and am committed to improving health outcomes through efficient, ethical pharmaceutical practice and continual professional growth.
