PGY‑2 Critical Care pharmacist focused on evidence-based pharmacotherapy and multidisciplinary ICU impact.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a board‑focused critical care pharmacist completing a PGY‑2 Critical Care Residency with hands‑on ICU experience across trauma, neuro, cardiovascular, and medical ICUs. I prioritize evidence‑based medication management and clear, concise clinical communication.
Throughout my residency, I optimized medication therapy using tools like FASTHUG MAIDENS, led antimicrobial stewardship reviews, and supported emergency responses including Code Blues and STEMI activations. I routinely provided consult documentation and medication reconciliations to improve patient safety and transitions of care.
I have longitudinal leadership experience as Chief Resident, organizing journal clubs, resident development meetings, and maintaining residency communications and website content. I have contributed to formulary management, committee minutes, medication monographs, and opioid stewardship initiatives to support institutional policy and practice.
I bring strong operational and technical competencies (Epic, Cerner, Pyxis), multilingual communication (English, Ibibio, Yoruba, French), and certifications including NJ Registered Pharmacist, APhA immunization, BLS, ACLS, and PALS. I seek to apply clinical expertise to improve critical care outcomes and interdisciplinary collaboration.
