About

Pharmacist: the most accessible healthcare professional

My name is Dr. Ana, and I am a Critical Care Clinical Pharmacist who truly loves what I do. I am board certified in pharmacotherapy (BCPS) and critical care pharmacy (BCCCP), and my passion lies in both teaching students and participating in bedside patient care. Pharmacists play a vital role in the healthcare team, and I enjoy helping others understand the impact and opportunities within this profession.

I earned my Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) and completed a clinical pharmacy residency, which helped shape my clinical knowledge and passion for patient care. Over the years, I have gained more than eight years of hands-on experience working in clinical pharmacy, particularly in critical care settings where medication management and collaboration with healthcare teams are essential to improving patient outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong interest in mentorship and education, especially for students exploring healthcare careers. My expertise includes graduate school preparation, pharmacy school applications and interviews, PGY residency applications and interviews, and navigating career paths in both healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry. I also help students prepare for pre-pharmacy requirements, including prerequisite coursework and the PCAT, as well as support pharmacy students with pharmacotherapy concepts, calculations, statistics, and clinical case discussions. Additionally, I enjoy helping new graduates prepare for the NAPLEX and the transition into professional practice.

My expertise:

  • Graduate schools
  • Pharmacy school applications and interviews
  • Post Graduate Residency (PGY) interviews and requirements
  • Pharmaceutical industry positions
  • Healthcare positions
  • Pre-pharmacy school entry classes, PCAT
  • All things pharmacy school, including pharmacotherapy, calculations, statistics, and clinical cases
  • Preparation for post-pharmacy school, NAPLEX

Outside of being a clinical pharmacist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling, and making memories with my family. I created this space to share my experiences, knowledge, and advice to help students succeed in their academic and professional journeys. My goal is to make healthcare careers feel more approachable, achievable, and rewarding for those who are passionate about helping others.
