I am a resilient and dedicated pharmacy professional with over six years of experience as a Pharmacy Technician, advancing from entry-level roles to lead technician in a fast-paced retail environment while simultaneously pursuing my education full-time. These experiences have not only strengthened my technical skills in medication preparation, inventory management, and regulatory compliance but also shaped my passion for patient advocacy and the pharmacy field overall.
My greatest fulfillment comes from educating patients — whether explaining how to take an antibiotic correctly or clarifying complex treatment plans that were never fully explained by providers. These interactions reinforced my belief that pharmacists play a vital role as accessible healthcare professionals, bridging the gap between patients and their medications.
Having witnessed the challenges of short staffing, burnout, and the demands of high-volume pharmacy practice, I have also learned the importance of balance, teamwork, and resilience. I am committed to carrying forward my dedication, adaptability, and patient-centered focus into my journey as a student pharmacist and, ultimately, as a pharmacist who continues to grow, lead, and advocate for patients with the same charisma and compassion that first drew me to this profession.
