What I'm looking for
I am a clinically trained Doctor of Pharmacy with a strong focus on optimizing therapeutic outcomes and ensuring medication safety through evidence-based practices. My experience spans hospital rotations, compounding pharmacy, and high-volume community settings, where I have honed my skills in drug utilization review, Medicare Part B criteria, and medication therapy management.
Currently, I work as a Pharmacist at Walgreens Pharmacy, where I review medication appropriateness for over 100 patients daily and conduct point-of-care consultations. My role involves processing insurance prior authorizations for high-cost and specialty drugs, educating patients on medication safety, and supporting public health initiatives. I am passionate about patient-centered care and have developed strong communication skills that allow me to build rapport with patients and healthcare providers alike.
Throughout my career, I have engaged in various internships, including compounding pharmacy and hospital rotations, where I collaborated with healthcare teams to tailor therapies and prevent adverse drug events. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my active Florida Pharmacist License and various certifications.
