Summary

With five years of experience as a technician for a national chain community pharmacy, I have developed a strong foundation in the field. During the past two years, I served as a Pharmacy Intern, gaining extensive experience in training team members, formatting data in online databases (EPRN), and maintaining industrial dispensing machines. Additionally, my role involved effective interprofessional communications. My pharmaceutical education equipped me with knowledge of pharmacy law, manufacturing regulations, patient-centric care, and collaborative communications. Recently, I expanded my expertise to include cannabis and pharmacology, deepening my understanding of cannabinoids - their chemistry and regulations - as well as pathways for drug and toxin metabolisms. My years of lab experience has honed my skills in testing methods, data collection, and analyses.
