What I'm looking for
Driven Pharmacy Technician with over 5 years of experience and success in fast-paced pharmacy settings.

I bring hands-on patient-facing experience from roles including Pharmacy Technician, Pharmacy Customer Associate, and Pharmacy Technician in animal hospital settings. I’ve supported high-volume workflows—processing third party billing claims, assisting with prior authorization completion, and helping customers resolve issues quickly through active listening and professional communication.
I’m a certified Pharmacy Technician with IV certification through NPTA and completed my training at Pima Medical Institute. Bilingual, adaptable, and a quick learner, I take pride in efficient, friendly service, and I’m also experienced as a cashier/cashier team lead—bringing a strong work ethic, positive attitude, and a team-oriented mindset.
