What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my pharmacy skills while contributing to patient care and medical writing.

I am a dedicated pharmacy graduate with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University. My education has equipped me with a strong foundation in pharmaceutical sciences, and I am passionate about improving patient outcomes through effective medication management. Currently, I am working as a Pharmacy Graduate Intern at Walgreens, where I manage patient insurance verification and ensure accurate medication processing.

In addition to my internship, I have experience as a Medical Writer at Capital Health, where I develop scientifically accurate medical content for regulatory submissions. My ability to interpret clinical data and summarize complex information has been instrumental in supporting submissions to health authorities. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am committed to delivering high-quality work that meets the needs of both patients and healthcare professionals.
