What I'm looking for
I am a licensed pharmacist with hands-on hospital and community pharmacy experience, committed to optimizing pharmacotherapy and improving patient outcomes through accurate dispensing, medication reviews, and patient education.
I have worked across tertiary and community settings, performing medication history reviews, compounding, point-of-care testing, inventory management, and collaborating closely with physicians and nurses to reduce medication errors.
I pursue continuous learning—having completed UNDP training in pharmaceutical procurement and supply chain management—and I bring strong communication, teamwork, and practical computer skills to support clinical and operational pharmacy functions.
