Hi there, my name is Miranda Montoya! I’m a third-year student pharmacist at the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of New Mexico in December 2022. I currently work as an intern at the Inpatient Pharmacy of The University of New Mexico Hospital. When I’m not stressing about school I spend my free time with family and friends. I find peace in spending time outside. You can always find me with walking around with a matcha latte or coffee. Currently, I serve as APhA-ASP National President-elect. I have had 3 years of experience in both hospital and community pharmacy. My passion for advancing the profession has inspired me to take action and fight for what I believe in. Joining my local APhA-ASP chapter has allowed me to find my “pharmily”. My passion for APhA-ASP was sparked by student mentors; without them, I would have never found my pharmacy home. I aspire to be that same spark that ignites fervor in other students. Following graduation in May 2025, I plan on completing a community-based residency. Having been born and raised in the small town of Las Vegas, New Mexico, I have a strong devotion to my community and people. My admiration for home influenced my decision to not only continue my education in New Mexico but eventually practice here as well. As a practicing pharmacist, I cannot wait to advocate and serve por mi gente
