Pharmacy student passionate about patient care and medication management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Doctor of Pharmacy student at Midwestern University, actively engaged in various professional organizations such as the American Pharmacists Association and the Pediatric Pharmacy Organization. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in pharmaceutical sciences, complemented by hands-on clinical experience through Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) rotations in diverse healthcare settings.
Throughout my clinical rotations, I have honed my skills in medication therapy management, patient counseling, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I have participated in critical care rounds, optimized medication regimens for critically ill patients, and contributed to palliative care initiatives. My commitment to enhancing patient outcomes is reflected in my proactive approach to medication management and my ability to communicate effectively with healthcare teams.
In addition to my clinical experiences, I am passionate about community service and health education, leading initiatives to improve medication access and health literacy among underserved populations. I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge in a dynamic pharmacy role where I can continue to make a positive impact on patient care.
