Establishing Blue Dove Pharmacy on a foundation of community altruism, Jacqueline Mbwille Sakaya is a longstanding pharmacy professional with over 18 years of experience optimizing practice compliances, improving team unification and diversity, and advancing new levels of patient care. Currently licensed in Michigan and Maryland, Jacqueline holds an extensive background involving regulatory requirement implementation, quality assurance processes, and securing compliance relations for both corporate and independent pharmacy operations. Even more, she enjoys leveraging her service and leadership acumen to not only exceed both patient and operational expectations but do so all while propelling various community initiatives forward, especially concerning bridging the gaps in care and racial disparities across the healthcare landscape.

Originally from Tanzania and coming to the US in pursuit of a better life and opportunity, Jacqueline brings with her the innate values of hard work and perseverance. Part of this stems from initially coming to the States as a camp counselor for the girl scout of Camp Chanyatah of Arcadia, Florida (selected among thousands of Tanzanian high school applicants), and part from her ambitious nature to continue higher education to pursue a career within the pharmacy industry. Coupled with her subsequent vision to foster larger-picture change, it became the catalyst for Jacqueline to earn her Doctor of Pharmacy at Howard University College of Pharmacy in 2004, along with a Healthcare MBA from George Washington University in 2021.

Furthermore, Jacqueline undertook advanced certifications in pharmacogenetics and pharmacist immunity delivery. Since then, Jacqueline has made Belleville, Michigan, her home and has worked in several practices, initially going from a staff pharmacist to the pharmacy manager at Walgreens, working within both the retail and ambulatory hospital spaces, and later blending that dynamicity to develop Blue Dove Pharmacy in 2020.
