What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my pharmacy expertise and management skills in a dynamic environment focused on patient care and operational excellence.

I am a dedicated pharmacy manager and community pharmacist with extensive experience in overseeing pharmacy operations and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. My journey in the pharmaceutical field began with a Bachelor of Pharmacy from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, and I have since honed my skills in various roles, including operations and business development management.

In my current role at Naivy Pharmacy, I manage daily operations, ensuring high standards of customer service and compliance with pharmacy regulations. My previous experience as an operations manager at Simba Food Products Company allowed me to develop strong leadership skills and a keen understanding of business development, where I successfully fostered an environment of continuous improvement and regulatory compliance.

With certifications as an ISO quality manager and a professional registered pharmacist, I am committed to delivering quality healthcare services and contributing positively to the pharmaceutical industry. I am passionate about enhancing patient care through effective medication management and community engagement.
