Summary
Passionate pharmacist, seeking a new experience or opportunity to grow in her field. For the last 4 years, I have worked part-time as a clinical and retail pharmacist. I recently started working remotely through contracts when possible, and have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities/experiences that came with the change. I am willing and would personally like to get multiple state licenses and/or certifications if needed.
