As a pharmacist with over 11 years of experience, I have developed a strong foundation in patient care and pharmacy management. Currently, I serve as a Pharmacist at Wellness Pharmacy Group, where I’ve also held key roles such as Operations Manager and Pharmacy Manager. My journey started with internships at Pharmasave and Royal Columbian Hospital, followed by tutoring at UBC and time as a pharmacy student at Shoppers Drug Mart. These diverse experiences have shaped me into a skilled healthcare professional, dedicated to improving patient outcomes and leading effective pharmacy operations.
