Personal Summary
My name is Jenna Barlow, a 37-year-old fraternal twin with two incredible nephews, Grant and Jack. Being their Aunt is my favorite pastime. My friends and family say that I can light up any room because I’m easy to be around and I'm always optimistic. I became a pharmacy technician initially because it was a job opportunity offered to me. On my first day at Med-Fast Pharmacy, I knew that this was where I truly belonged. I can vividly recall the entire day, down to the clothes I wore. After all this time, I can confidently say that I remain dedicated and determined as I was when I started. I’m very unique and bring a lot to the table that’s hard to simply overlook. My extensive experience in healthcare, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, gives me capabilities and knowledge that others lack due to limited career experience. If given the chance, I’d use my skill set to quickly and efficiently achieve company goals.
