About Me
15+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Helping You Stay Healthy, One Check at a Time
Iām Ronald Castelino ā an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney,
specialist pharmacist, educator, researcher, and professional coach trained by the
International Coaching Academy.
Originally from Manipal, India, I completed my Bachelor and Master of Pharmacy

many international students and healthcare professionals, I navigated cultural shifts,
career transitions, imposter feelings, and leadership growth.
Today, I:
- Lead academic programs
- Supervise PhD students
- Mentor healthcare professionals
- Practice clinically as a specialist kidney pharmacist
- Coach individuals seeking clarity and growth

Why I Coach?
Throughout my academic and clinical career, I noticed something:
Talented people often struggle not because of lack of ability, but because of lack of clarity, confidence, or structured support.
I wish I had a coach during key transition moments:
Moving countries
Stepping into leadership
Balancing research, teaching, and clinical practice
Managing high expectations and self-doubt
Coaching provides:
A safe, non-judgmental space
Structured reflection
Strengths-based guidance
Accountability for growth
