Through my podcast, I share stories of innovative pharmacists worldwide while building a community that breaks free from traditional career moulds. After 14 years in clinical practice, including stints as the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix pharmacist and working in emergency services in the UAE, I've embraced entrepreneurship to help other healthcare professionals find their voice through podcasting.
