Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate healthcare professional with a strong foundation in both patient care and pharmaceutical science. With hands-on experience as a Healthcare Assistant and Support Worker in the UK, and as a Volunteer Care Worker in India, I have supported individuals with diverse needs, including elderly patients and those with complex conditions such as Prader-Willi Syndrome. My background as a QA Chemist and Microbiology Technician further enhances my expertise in medication management, infection control, and accurate health monitoring. I bring a unique blend of clinical empathy and scientific precision, making me well-suited to roles that demand both personal care and medical responsibility. I am now seeking an opportunity where I can continue to deliver high-quality care while utilising my pharmaceutical skills to improve patient wellbeing.
