PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVE
Highly motivated and driven Penfield, New York native educated and worked in Virginia for the past 26 years. Looking for professional change of scenery. With a lifelong passion for healthcare and learning, I know there are no limits to my potential. I feel that the role of a Retail Pharmacist, community’s most accessible healthcare resource, has become monetized by dispensing times, ready rates and vaccine percentages. I feel that my many years of leadership, independent self-study and clinical applications would make me an invaluable asset of any healthcare focused team looking for outcomes pertaining to well-being. My professional goal has always been towards Disease Prevention & Health Promotion. I want to put my years of experience to use and be an integral part of a healthcare team making a real impact on today’s society.
