I pride myself on the accuracy and efficiency with which I dispense medications for patients. My strong communication skills have allowed me to work well with customers, colleagues, and management. I like to take initiative in my work, and I have assisted with the implementation of processes in the pharmacy that increased productivity and reduced error risk. I am a hard-working, passionate, enthusiastic, and conscientious pharmacist always looking to increase my knowledge base and be the best asset possible.
