I'm a newly registered pharmacist with a passion for the industry. I spent my intern year in the distant corners of WA, providing services to many Aboriginal Medical Services, where I gained extensive knowledge on the s100 scheme and developed a passion for rural pharmacy. I plan to spend the early days of my career working as a locum pharmacist to broaden my experience and scope of practice.
