Jessica Swirble, Pharm.D. is an experienced pharmacist with a robust pharmaceutical and medical writing background. As a medical reviewer for Sesame Care, she ensures the accuracy and reliability of the health and pharmaceutical information published on the Sesame blog, working to make complex medical concepts accessible and easy to understand for everyday readers. She holds a Medical Writing Certificate from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, allowing her to blend deep clinical knowledge with effective, patient-friendly communication.

Jessica brings more than 16 years of experience as an immunizing community pharmacist, along with over a decade in management roles at prominent retail pharmacies, including Rite Aid. That combination of front-line patient interaction and leadership experience gives her a uniquely practical perspective on the questions patients ask most often — about prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, immunizations, drug interactions, and navigating the pharmacy counter itself.

Deeply committed to enhancing patient care and strengthening the broader healthcare community, Jessica contributes through both active practice and ongoing education. She earned her Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. You can find her on LinkedIn.
