What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) with extensive experience in both hospital and retail pharmacy operations. My formal pharmacy studies in Venezuela have provided me with a strong foundation in clinical pharmacology and biopharmaceutical sciences. I am highly detail-oriented and ensure compliance with safety and regulatory guidelines in all my work. My skills include medication preparation, inventory management, sterile compounding, and IV room procedures, which I have honed through years of hands-on experience.
In my current role as a Lead Pharmacy Technician at CVS Pharmacy, I direct daily operations in a high-volume environment, maintaining strict compliance with federal and state regulations. I have successfully led team training and onboarding programs, which have increased operational efficiency and boosted customer satisfaction scores. My proactive approach to inventory control has significantly reduced medication shortages and improved stock rotation, utilizing advanced pharmacy automation systems like Pyxis.
I am passionate about optimizing patient care and have collaborated cross-functionally with pharmacists, patients, and insurance providers to ensure timely medication access. My commitment to public health initiatives is evident through my role in administering vaccines and educating patients on medication usage, ultimately helping to improve adherence and reduce errors.
