Working in Mt Druitt, a community with a diverse demographic, has allowed me to engage with people from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My ability to speak Arabic has been particularly valuable in building rapport and trust with Arabic-speaking patients, many of whom now return regularly to Cincotta for their pharmacy needs. I take pride in my strong work ethic and commitment to supporting both the pharmacy team and our customers.
