What do you do?
I work as a pharmacy technician in the pharmacy's supply section, which is the inpatient pharmacy. This position entails ordering medication stock for the outpatient section of the pharmacy. I also assist in filling stock for the automated medication dispensing systems located within various wards in the hospital, as well as making crash cart sets to be placed within the carts located throughout the hospital. 

How long have you worked at TAMC?
I’ve been at TAMC since September of 2023.

What do you enjoy about your job?
I enjoy everything about my job and the role I fill. Pharmacy is vital to a hospital, the world, and our everyday lives. I love seeing all the medications we order and dispense throughout the hospital, how they move, and what they do. I love the complexity of the drugs we dispense, and their ability to do so many different things for so many people. I love knowing that the drugs we dispense will treat people and help them make a positive difference in their lives.

Why did you become a pharmacy technician?
I knew that when I joined the Army, I would want to be a Pharmacy Technician. I went to Fort Sam Houston to learn the various aspects of Pharmacy and Pharmacy Certified Pharmacy Technician.
