Summary
My time in healthcare as a pharmacy technician has provided greater depth and understanding of the practice and development of patient care. Many of those years were dedicated to The Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado, where I have proven strengths in pediatric and neonatal calculations and compounding. I've appreciated the value of working in large institutions, not only for obtaining an expanded skill set, but also for being able to adapt to a fast-paced, high volume work environment, where accuracy, communication, and team work are paramount. I have very high standards for patient care.
Skilled pharmacy professional with proven track record in medication preparation, customer interaction, and inventory management. Known for strong collaboration within healthcare teams and adaptability to meet changing needs. Expertise in pharmaceutical calculations, prescription processing, and maintaining compliance with safety standards. Reliable, results-driven, and focused on delivering high-quality patient care.
