As a clinical pharmacist, researcher, and lecturer, my career has been driven by a commitment to improving patient care through translational research and education. With a strong foundation in managing critically ill patients, particularly in infectious diseases, I developed a deep interest in pharmacokinetics and its role in optimizing drug therapy. This passion led me to bridge clinical practice with research, ensuring that scientific advancements translate into real-world benefits for patients. Teaching became a natural extension of this mission, allowing me to shape future pharmacists and researchers with a focus on evidence-based practice and patient-centered care. Today, I continue to integrate clinical expertise, research innovation, and education to advance pharmacy practice and improve health outcomes.
