Creating Happy Pharmacists

If you really want to build the career and life that you’ve dreamed of, one where you are helping people and working in the field that you love, you need to do something different than what you’ve been doing.

We teach pharmacists how to create indispensable careers and  find jobs that they love.  

HEYO, I’M ALEX!

When I’m not drawing monsters with my princesses or watching anime, I’m experimenting on career development, helping pharmacists create inspiring work and lives.I’ve worked with dozens of pharmacists as well as pharmacists in all scopes of practice from retail to industry to everything in between.To help pharmacists learn how to create a fulfilling career in any job market, I created The Happy PharmD as a free resource with the sole goal of giving you everything you need to get started
