Experienced pharmacy technician dedicated to high-quality patient care.
What I'm looking for
I am a conscientious and professional pharmacy technician with thirteen years of experience across various areas, including community pharmacy, hospital, and primary care. My journey in pharmacy began with a strong foundation in customer service and has evolved into a commitment to providing high-quality care in fast-paced environments. I qualified as a pharmacy technician in 2018, and I am eager to further develop my skills in a new opportunity.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to work effectively as part of a team while also being proactive in meeting patients' needs. My experience includes monitoring high-risk medications, conducting audits, and supporting pharmacists in medication reviews. I take pride in my punctuality and professionalism, which have allowed me to continually progress within the pharmacy sector.
