Karima ALIM

Dear recruiter

my name is karima alim, I have a PhD in science with more than 2 years of experience in the field of oncology, pharmacology, neurological and cardiovascular diseases. I have worked around the world (Europe and North America) in public (McGill University) and private (French-European pharmaceutical industry) developing and improving my skills in the field of biology and pharmacology.

I consider myself a born leader, I have a great experience as a national (France) and international (North America) presenter and speaker thanks to my skills in the field of interpersonal communication, which I have honed over the years of presentations in front of the scientific and general public.

I am a highly motivated person, who loves working in multidisciplinary environments, I like to collaborate by providing and exchanging ideas to solve problems efficiently and creatively.

Currently, I am looking for new and more challenging challenges that encourage me to improve myself a little more every day, since I have learned that the sum of small efforts finally gives a great result.

I am very interested in hearing from you and I would like to have the opportunity of an interview where your expectations will be satisfied.

Sincerely

Karima Alim
