NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate pharmacist with a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, where I graduated with Second Class Upper Division Honours. My academic journey included a thesis focused on the identification and isolation of bioactive properties of soil fungi, which reflects my commitment to research and innovation in the pharmaceutical field.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in various roles, including as a Pharmacist Consultant at Achieving Health Nigeria Initiative, where I ensured accurate reporting and supported drug distribution across multiple facilities. My previous positions have equipped me with strong skills in logistics management, patient counseling, and pharmaceutical care, allowing me to effectively contribute to healthcare teams and improve patient outcomes.
I am dedicated to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my numerous certifications in health and safety, inventory management, and data analysis. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to make a meaningful impact in the pharmaceutical industry.
