Summary
I am a fourth-year PharmD candidate with experience in inpatient pharmacy, medical writing, patient population health, and specialty pharmacy wanting to navigate toward patient-centered healthcare outcomes. I have gained a strong understanding of medication management, including medication safety, dispensing, and monitoring patient responses as an inpatient pharmacy intern. I have a solid foundation in scientific communication and literature evaluation due to experience as a medical writing intern. Working in population health has given me a unique perspective on how pharmacists can have an active role in advocating for patients behind the scenes for medication adherence and gaps in therapy. My experience in specialty pharmacy has deepened my knowledge of how to work with medications that may not be as common for both patients and insurance companies.
