Emma Jayne Biggs

I am a pharmacy student and aspiring pharmacist with a strong passion for patient care, clinical practice, and continuous learning. My journey in pharmacy began in 2017 with my first job in a pharmacy, and since then, I have been committed to developing my skills and deepening my understanding of the field.

Beyond academics, I have a natural curiosity and an analytical mindset—I love problem-solving, understanding the ‘why’ behind things. I attempt to bring such curiosity and critical thinking into every aspect of my work, ensuring that the care I provide is thoughtful, informed, and patient-centered.

Currently, I work as a pharmacy student at Shoppers Drug Mart, where I apply my clinical knowledge in prescription processing, patient counseling, and collaboration with healthcare professionals. My role allows me to enhance my problem-solving abilities, strengthen my communication skills, and gain valuable hands-on experience in patient care. A dedicated and self-motivated learner, I take pride in my ability to quickly adapt, pay close attention to detail, and provide high-quality, patient-focused care. I am eager to continue expanding my experience across different pharmacy settings, further developing my expertise and adaptability.
