Siba Ghadhanfari

Registered pharmacist with over a decade of SOP-led practice in Iraq's public healthcare system and humanitarian settings. Primary professional identity is clinical and dispensary-based; however, I have credible exposure to teaching and analytical laboratories through degree practicals and regular liaison with hospital/public-health labs during my Ministry of Health role. I bring a strong safety mindset, meticulous documentation, careful stock stewardship and a calm, supportive manner with students and colleagues.

I am keen to broaden my hands-on lab responsibilities within a School of Pharmacy environment and will engage fully with structured training to reach technician proficiency.
