What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply MTM and utilization management expertise, collaborate with clinical teams, lead operations, and advance patient-centered pharmacy services.

I am a Licensed Pharmacist (PharmD) with over 3 years of experience managing high-volume pharmacy operations, leading teams, and delivering patient-centered care. I specialize in medication therapy management, prior authorization processes, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

My background includes clinical review for utilization management, pharmacy management in retail settings, and multiple advanced pharmacy practice experiences across acute care, ambulatory care, and substance abuse treatment. I have a track record of improving workflow, resolving prior authorization barriers, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to optimize therapeutic outcomes.

I bring strong attention to detail, multilingual communication skills (English and Russian), and a patient-focused ethos. I am committed to evidence-based decision making, precise clinical documentation, and enhancing pharmacy integration within broader healthcare delivery.
