Background

About Jamila Pascal

Always in pursuit of new insights, ideas, and inspiration, I have moved fluidly and eagerly between various fields of interest throughout my career. The common denominators in each of these fields, and the concepts at the very core of my personality, are: analysis, organization, and critical thinking. While I consider my definition of "ME" to be evolving infinitely, my most abiding goal in life has been to refine these skills in order to solve complex, persistent problems and make life easier for the people around me. At work-I am a troubleshooter: used linear thinking to determine whether an issue with the pharmacy label maker was related to hardware or software, trace the problem back to the computer holding up the print queue, and get the printer working again-I recognize patterns: took note of medications dispensed less frequently than others and adjusted inventory orders as necessary, preventing waste-I plan ahead: created a manual detailing routine laboratory/pharmacy tasks and tips to create a smooth transition for future employees in the department- Most memorable experiences (and what they have taught me)-Moved to Japan in 2017: I am insane. I jest, but this wild decision is proof that I am determined, adaptable, eager to try new things, and eager to learn from new people-Illustrated a novel in 2022: I love to create-Applied to vet school in 2022: I am resilient and organized. Other interests & hobbies-Japan (ask me about my favorite Japanese word)-Art in its various forms (especially music, poetry, and illustration)-Psychology & Philosophy Please feel free to connect and chat with me about interesting things."One day we won't be able to, and we will ask why we didn't."
