I am currently a Trainee Pharmacist with a passion for bridging the gap between patients and healthcare. With a foundation in pharmaceutical sciences and a commitment to delivering high-quality patient care, I am excited to expand my knowledge in medication management, clinical practices, and healthcare technologies.
Throughout my studies and training, I've had the opportunity to engage in various clinical rotations, where I developed skills in patient counseling, conducting health screenings, and medications therapy management.
My goal is to continuously learn and implement
advancements in pharmacy, improving accessibility and effectiveness of medical care.
As a Trainee Pharmacy Advisor, I dispensed medications for customers and offered friendly and efficient service.
I handled challenging situations with ease and also worked with my colleagues to understand the needs of customers and provide excellent service.
Additionally, I have worked to maintain outstanding attendance record, consistently arriving to work ready to start immediately.
I have exceeded goals through effective task prioritization and great work ethic and have also participated in team-building activities to enhance working relationships.
Within this job,I increased profits through effectively maintaining relationships with clients and ensuring high-quality customer service and also capitalized on upsell opportunities by suggesting best-fit offerings from available company products and services.
Additionally, I managed incoming calls each day with utmost professionalism and knowledgeable service. I also collected customer feedback and made process changes to exceed customer satisfaction goals. I answered customer questions about product availability and shipment times and offered basic technical support for customers on wide range of company products.
Within this job, communication was key as I had to work with patients on a daily basis to solve problems with their medications in order to improve adherence and ensure that they have understood the dosage of the medication. Additionally, I gained a hands on experience with managing stock numbers as my teammates and I were in charge of managing and recording daily stock. Also, my teammates and I were given various case studies which required us to research and debate on the side effects of some medications administered to patients.
Within this job, I had to stay up to speed on their latest products in order to update customers on these products as well as in store and online promotions. Additionally, within this job my ability to enthuse and converse confidently with customers came in handy as I had to interact with countless customers on a daily basis. Also, I gained hands on experience with stocking shelves and working with stock numbers alongside my colleagues as I had to stock shelves early in the morning or at the end of the day.
Within this job, I interacted with the company's customers to address inquiries regarding service provided by the company. These services were mainly construction supplies, which included cement, chipping, sand and many other logistics. To add to that, I usually had a one‐on‐one meetings with customers to find out what logistics they needed the company to provide them with. Also, I was in charge of booking appointments for customers as well as picking up telephone calls and forwarding them to the right department.
I was the Public Relations Officer for the Ilera Initiative in my school. This job required me to gain understanding and support for students through continuous communication with the student body in order to meet their demands as well as propagate a healthy living amongst students (aim of initiative).
I was in charge of communicating key messages to students and managing the social media accounts which I set up in order to update the student body on the day‐to‐day activities of the initiative.
I also developed brand media relations strategies that bolstered community awareness and knowledge.
I became passionate about health and fitness when I started my weight loss journey in 2020. I’ve since used my Instagram platform (@lifestylewithkikky) to inspire, inform, and educate people especially young girls my age on sustainable ways to achieve fitness goals and how it optimizes health and general
well-being. It hasn’t been easy putting myself out here, but it’s been a great experience stepping out of my comfort zone.
What’s the goal? To keep inspiring, growing and learning everyday alongside sharing my journey with everyone and to become not just one of Africa’s top pharmacists but a nutritionist and personal trainer.
