About Me

Who Am I?

Hi I'm Jenna Hamdan and I have a strong background and education in medicine and health care. Before starting my career as a medical technologist and quality assurance specialist, I worked as a pharmacy technician in a community pharmacy, interacting with patients, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals in a daily basis.

Working in a public-facing role taught me how to communicate effectively with people with all sorts of backgrounds and education levels.

I’m passionate about incorperating technology into medicine and I feel that technology is changing the way people behave and interact with companies in every sector, including pharma, biotech, health, and medical industries.

Looking forward into using my knowledge and experience to be an asset to a company in need!
