Summary

I am a recent graduate from the University of Tabuk with a degree in Pharmacy, driven by a deep passion for therapeutics and direct patient care. My interests extend to pharmacogenetics, with a particular focus on the intersection of personalized medicine and how genetic variations influence drug metabolism and efficacy. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed both technical and interpersonal skills through various roles and experiences. As a Member of the Board of Directors for the College of Pharmacy Club, I led numerous student initiatives and spearheaded impactful community awareness campaigns. These experiences have honed my leadership, teamwork, and communication skills, while reinforcing my commitment to service and collaboration. As I transition into the professional field, I am eager to contribute to the evolving healthcare landscape, while continuing to pursue my personal and professional growth. My goal is to consistently strive for excellence and make meaningful contributions to patient care and pharmacology.
