Summary

I have taken some time off from pharmacy while my family has relocated to Seattle, WA in 2016 and then Austin, TX in 2019. I am looking forward to working as a retail pharmacist again. I am a qualified professional with proven ability to accurately and efficiently fill medication prescriptions while adhering to safety and quality control. Experienced in delivering excellent customer service, resolving issues and managing inquiries. Skilled in working collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to provide patient care.
