I am a young, ambitious pharmacist with a desire to learn, lead and grow along side other courageous and dedicated healthcare workers. I aspire to make a noticeable difference in my workplace and I'm most content when I can see that my team and I have done a job well. My career started off at Dis-Chem Pharmacy in my second year of university, and while retail is no walk in the park, I still find it rewarding and work weekends when I'm available. I was thrown into the deep end in my community service year, but it was also a year of tremendous growth and experience for me. I was exposed to pharmacy in a primary, community, and hospital settings and my administrative and managerial skills were tested in each of these sectors. I also worked as part of wholesale team for part of the year and helped to manage a vaccination site in Upington before returning to Cape Town. In my early student years I realized I had an aptitude for chemistry and this transformed into a love for pharmaceutical chemistry and drug development. Looking forward, I still hope to explore this avenue further, and I'm fortunate to have been introduced to the world of Haematology and Chemotherapy pharmaceuticals. My current work entails the handling and preparation of chemotherapy and heamotology infusions and pharmaceuticals. I have gained experience in both adult and paediatric therapy and my depth of understanding of transplant Haematology and procurement of Section 21 medicine is constantly being improved. Working with Dis-Chem Oncology and Cancercare has also exposed me to clinical trials, and I have come to find this sector quite fascinating. The importance of the research that is being done is incredible and I am excited to be a part of this courageous endeavor.
