Summary
As a pharmacist, I work on the front lines of cardiometabolic care, with a strong focus on obesity and diabetes management, where treatment success depends on education, trust, and long-term adherence. I collaborate closely with prescribers, navigate coverage and access challenges, and support patients in initiating and remaining on evidence-based obesity and cardiometabolic therapies. This experience has prepared me to build strong provider relationships and communicate clinical and scientific information clearly and effectively in a field-based medical role.
