Summary
I am a pharmacist passionate about patient care. I have more than 18 years experience delivering care in a variety of dynamic settings; such as specialty prescription management, 340B program, immunizations, blood pressure tests, medication management therapy, OTC advice, COVID-19 and Flu A/B testing, digital communication, adherence programs, and consultation services. I enjoyed being part of a pharmacy team on the front line of healthcare in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The next step in my career is to continue to grow with personalized patient care that improves clinical outcomes.
