What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my pharmacy knowledge, engage with patients, and contribute to innovative healthcare solutions.

I am a dedicated and passionate PharmD candidate with a strong interest in the world of industry pharmacy. Currently, I am pursuing my Doctor of Pharmacy at Roseman University of Health Sciences, where I maintain a 4.0 GPA. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in pharmaceutical sciences, and I am eager to expand my knowledge and skills in this dynamic field.

Throughout my education, I have gained valuable experience as a Pharmacy Intern at the University of Utah, where I counseled patients on medication use and resolved insurance issues using EPIC EMR. I have also participated in advanced pharmacy practice experiences at Cleveland Clinic Akron General, where I developed conflict resolution skills and collaborated with healthcare teams to optimize patient care. My involvement in community engagement initiatives and leadership roles, such as serving as Vice President of the APhA, reflects my commitment to making a positive impact in the pharmacy profession.
