What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a pharmacy role where I can deliver medication safety-focused dispensing and counselling, strengthen pharmacovigilance and QA documentation, and grow through mentorship in a patient-centered, compliance-driven team.

I’m a motivated Bachelor of Pharmacy graduate with hands-on training across hospital, community, industrial, and public health pharmacy settings. I focus on delivering safe, high-quality pharmaceutical care while promoting rational medicine use and better patient outcomes.

In industrial practice at Dawa Limited, I supported manufacturing operations with a strong eye for compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). I helped with in-process quality control, documentation review, sampling and testing, and identifying/deviating resolutions to maintain product quality and regulatory alignment.

In community settings, I dispensed prescription and OTC medicines under supervision and strengthened patient safety through accurate preparation, labeling, and counselling. I reviewed prescriptions for accuracy and potential drug interactions, managed inventory (stock levels and expiry monitoring), and supported day-to-day operations in line with Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) and SOPs.

In hospital and public health exposure, I prepared and labeled medications, supported inventory control, and contributed to medication safety through prescription review and escalation of clinical concerns. I also completed regulatory and quality-focused training covering regulatory affairs, quality assurance, pharmacovigilance, and medical marketing & sales—fueling my commitment to continuous learning and safe, evidence-based practice.
