My story
From Sharjah, to the counter, to the page
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy at the University of
Sharjah in 2017, fascinated less by memorizing drugs than by
understanding the why behind them: how a molecule becomes a
therapy, and how that therapy gets explained to the people who
prescribe and take it.
That curiosity led me into medical communications. As a copywriter at
FCB Cure and then a medical writer at HMP Global, I learned to turn
dense clinical evidence into content that holds up to medical, legal,
and regulatory scrutiny. That meant CME programs, published special
reports, slide decks, grant proposals, and patient-education scripts
across oncology, rare disease, neurology, immunology, psychiatry, and
endocrinology.
I then returned to direct patient care as a community and long-term
care pharmacist in Michigan, running medication therapy management,
drug utilization reviews, and counseling patients through complex
regimens. It kept me close to the realities of treatment, and made me
a sharper writer.
Now I'm completing my Doctor of Pharmacy in December 2026 with a clear
destination: medical affairs. I want to contribute to
pharmaceutical research, where the rigor of
clinical pharmacy and the craft of scientific communication finally
meet.
I'm not leaving pharmacy behind. I'm bringing it with me, into the
rooms where science gets developed, debated, and explained.
