What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in clinical pharmacy, particularly in mental health, while fostering a collaborative team environment and contributing to patient-centered care.

I am a hardworking and disciplined pharmacist with over 8 years of experience in hospital and community pharmacy, specializing in mental health, pediatrics, and geriatrics. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence in patient care and a passion for education, having led training sessions for junior team members, nurses, and doctors.

I have also published articles in reputable journals and have been a leading speaker on the impact of COVID-19 on mental health patients at national conferences. My leadership roles have allowed me to manage teams effectively and ensure the responsible use of medications, focusing on cost-effectiveness and patient safety.
