Dr. Shin-Yu is a residency-trained and board-certified clinical pharmacist with ten+ years of experience in providing clinical care to highly complex and vulnerable patient populations. Her work experience spans public health, academia (teaching and training), acute care, retail and community, ambulatory care, leadership and management, and career coaching. She has led hundreds of individuals on the pathway to their next career. She has been recognized repeatedly for her efforts to teach and train others, propelling her to put her focus on educating and coaching patients and families.

Thus, she stepped away from her full-time clinical leadership role to focus on her passion as a patient advocate, parent coach, and most importantly, being a mom to her two children with chronic medical conditions.

She is committed to using her story as a cycle breaker of generational trauma and her expertise in navigating complex healthcare systems to empower parents—particularly women—to move from surviving to thriving.

With that focus and change came a burning desire to share what she has learned with a larger audience than possible in everyday life. Hence, her upcoming book, to be published in the Spring of 2023, tells the story of how women mentoring women—from different backgrounds and walks of life—can radically transform one’s life trajectory and leave a forever impact on generations to come.
