What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead pharmacy and supply-chain improvements, strengthen community health outcomes, and translate public health evidence into policy—while collaborating with teams on projects and campaigns across underserved settings.

I’m a result-driven Pharmacist and public health enthusiast with 5+ years of experience spanning pharmacy management, health systems strengthening, and community advocacy. I combine clinical acumen with policy research to advance equitable health access.

In my current Community Pharmacist/Manager role, I reduced medication stockouts by optimizing inventory systems and supplier relations, and I led teams of interns and assistants to improve dispensing efficiency by 30%. I’ve also implemented pharmacy management systems that saved 25% in inventory costs, streamlined ordering to cut stock outages by 30%, and used ward rounds to support rational drug use and minimize wastage.
