What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my extensive pharmacy experience while fostering collaborative relationships in a supportive healthcare environment.

I am a pharmacist with over 21 years of experience in both pharmacy benefits management and retail settings. My career has been dedicated to enhancing patient care through effective drug utilization reviews and prior authorization processes. I have developed a strong expertise in Coagulation and Immunology specialty divisions, which has allowed me to make informed decisions that positively impact health outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have prioritized building and maintaining valuable relationships with prescribers and patients. My strong communication skills enable me to address complex medication-related questions and concerns effectively. I am committed to ensuring that patients receive the best possible care and that prescribers are supported in their clinical decisions.

In my current role at UPMC Health Plan, I perform drug utilization reviews and make coverage determinations based on policy criteria. My previous experiences at Valeda Rx and Express Scripts have further honed my ability to navigate the complexities of medication therapy and patient counseling. I am passionate about continuing to grow in my profession and contribute to the healthcare community.
