148 Georgina Fihosy
In this episode of Pharmacist Diaries, I had the pleasure of interviewing Georgina Fihosy, a pharmacist and entrepreneur with a fascinating journey. Georgina shares her experiences transitioning from a hospital, to primary care and then working for Novartis while also running her own greeting card publishing company, AfroTouch Design, and being a mother of 3!
Georgina's journey into pharmacy began with a desire to help people, leading her to explore various specialties within the field. She found her passion in paediatrics and women's health, but eventually felt the need for more variety and challenge in her career. This led her to a role in a Primary Care Trust (PCT), where she worked on service improvement projects and prescribing practices.
During her maternity leave with her second child, Georgina discovered her entrepreneurial spirit and started creating handmade greeting cards. This creative outlet eventually evolved into her own business, AfroTouch Design. Despite the challenges of balancing her career at Novartis and running her business, Georgina's passion and dedication have driven her to success.
Throughout the episode, Georgina shared insights into the importance of:
following your gut instincts
finding balance between work and personal life, and
the joys of pursuing creative endeavors.
Her story serves as an inspiration for pharmacists looking to explore entrepreneurship and find fulfillment in their careers.
Join us as we delve into Georgina's journey, from hospital pharmacist to entrepreneur, and discover the power of passion and perseverance in building a successful career in pharmacy.
