P1 Preceptor talks to me like I’m an idiot

I haven’t done any rotations yet but I have my intern license through my job. I’ve worked at a pharmacy for 3 years and recently transferred to another location but same company. My preceptor supposedly knew my experience level but I have reiterated it many times already. At the prior location I was at, it was very small and I did basically all technician duties, because we didn’t have enough employees for anyone to have a designated work station. I did doctor calls/faxes, cash register, shipping, etc etc. My preceptor talks to me like I’m a dumbass. She gave me a new task to “focus on/learn for a month” and it took me like two days to get the hang of it and do it by myself.

She has been “correcting me” regularly, by interrupting tasks I’m doing, saying I am doing them wrong and then shows me how to do it…but she does it identical to what I was already doing. She likes her other intern better than me and gives him interesting tasks like writing about and presenting about supplements and gave me a task of filing old prescriptions numerically and fixing spelling mistakes in formula names and instructions. This other intern in question is brand new and asks me for help/training on things sometimes. The other intern is nice, no shade to him. But damn dude wtf.

I went to send a fax and she made a big show of interrupting me, insisting I would do it wrong unless she showed me how, and then proceeded to do it the same way I was already doing. I can literally say “I already know how to do that” and she will show me anyway and seems a lot more critical of me than multiple other pharmacists here. Can I switch preceptors if this isn’t a rotation and is just my job? Am I stuck with her for a year? Any advice welcome. Other pharmacists here are nice but the lady I have is pretty passive aggressive and also straight up ignores me sometimes if I try to talk to her about stuff. Like ignores me IN PERSON sometimes, won’t respond to our team chat for days, etc.
