Unofficial Pharmacy Manager

Helped manage Tullahoma location with another staff pharmacist until the permanent PIC could relocate to the area. Responsibilities including creating a pharmacist work schedule that allowed for special requirements for the other staff pharmacists due to restrictions in their availability, helped slowly introduce a reluctant technician staff to proper workflow, began training on the correct usage of pharmacy software to maximize efficiency and patient outcomes, helped store management realize opportunities for improvement in many areas of the pharmacy.

Worked as a floater pharmacist and staff pharmacist for the greater Middle Tennessee area including urban and rural locations from July 2006 to September 2007.

Held staff pharmacist position at a challenging inner city location for several months until a new building was finished and the pharmacy relocated.

Became the go-to floater for very distant, rural pharmacies that were difficult to staff. (Fayetteville, Sparta, Lewisburg, Pulaski, McMinnville, Manchester, Tullahoma, and many others) Was often requested and preferred by these locations to staff whenever possible.
