Stephanie Birch
@stephaniebirch
Dedicated pharmacy technician specializing in prescription verification, accuracy, and patient-focused customer service.
What I'm looking for
I’m a certified Pharmacy Technician with PTCB National Certification and a career built on accuracy, compliance, and clear communication. In verification-focused roles, I ensure prescriptions are correct before dispensing, resolving discrepancies in patient details, medication, dosage, refills, and authorization.
Most recently, I’ve worked as a Verification Pharmacy Technician, collaborating closely with pharmacists to clarify order details and partnering with customer service to keep workflows streamlined and clients supported. I take pride in regulatory compliance, attention to detail, and handling challenging situations with a calm, solutions-first mindset.
Before that, I served as a Lead Pharmacy Technician at CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens. I managed prescription processing, small compounding, insurance billing, and everyday customer service, and I supported team performance by assisting with training new employees and delegating daily tasks.
My background also includes veterinary and animal care work, from client services and vet assistant duties to boarding and lodging support, where I coordinated reservations, assisted with in-clinic needs like vaccines and fluids, and cared for animals requiring medical attention. I’m organized, dependable, and comfortable in fast-paced environments, with practical experience using Word programs, Excel, email, internet search tools, and Chameleon software.
