Summary

With a background in hands-on patient care as a medical student and doctor, along with research experience in cardiology, I have built a strong foundation in clinical and scientific settings. Actively participating in multidisciplinary teams, I have made significant contributions to improving patient outcomes. My adaptability and quick learning make me well-suited for a transition into the pharmaceutical industry, where I can utilize my medical expertise to contribute to the development of innovative treatments. The opportunity to contribute to the transformation of cardiovascular health through innovative solutions excites me, and I am eager to drive progress in this field. Additionally, my fluency in English (both written and spoken) strengthens my communication skills, enabling effective collaboration with diverse teams.
