What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a supportive healthcare environment that values professional growth and patient care.

I am a dedicated Pharmacy Technician with extensive experience in healthcare, currently working at PCN MWEB Pharmacy. My journey in the medical field began in Brazil, where I managed my own pharmacy and gained invaluable experience as a pharmacist. I have since transitioned to the UK, where I have continued to build my career in various healthcare roles.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong skill set in patient care, phlebotomy, and pharmacy operations. My commitment to professional development is evident through my ongoing education, including a diploma in Pharmacy Technician and multiple certifications in health and social care. I am passionate about providing high-quality care and support to patients, particularly those with special needs.

Fluent in both Portuguese and English, I excel in communication and have a proven track record of working effectively with diverse populations. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute positively to a dynamic healthcare team.
