I am a dedicated pharmacist with over 12 years of experience in evaluating clinical information and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

I thrive in collaborative environments, adapting to the changing needs of healthcare.
Currently, I work as a Prior Authorization Pharmacist at Optum Rx, where I evaluate clinical criteria and assist in identifying fraud claims to minimize waste and abuse.
