SUMMARY
Seasoned Pharmacist. Experienced in large and mid-size environments as well as entrepreneurial
efforts. Proven track record in management, scheduling, hiring, and training. Noted for patient
and vendor relationships, customer/patient consultation and staff management.
QUALIFICATIONS
I am a registered Pharmacist in New Mexico with extensive experience in hospital and retail
pharmacies. I received my clinical training at the University of New Mexico Hospital, where I
completed a cardiology rotation and experienced all disciplines within the hospital environment. I
have extensive knowledge and experience in sterile preparation of intravenous medication, and
have a current immunization certification. Retail experience as a pharmacy manager has given me
practical working knowledge of day-to-day operations. The hospital and nursing home
experiences have severed me well for patient consultations and interactions. Work experience
along with entrepreneurship and business school training give me a managerial edge.
