Early in her career, she was Clinical Assistant Professor at the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers University, in Piscataway, NJ, with a clinical practice at Hoboken University Medical Center, working with the family practice team.

In her clinical practice, Sandra was instrumental in ensuring optimal medication regimens were being prescribed for patients of varying acuities. This involved being knowledgeable on common treatments, conducting thorough drug information and literature reviews, and communicating recommendations to medical providers. She was also a mentor and preceptor to pharmacy students and pharmacy residents. As a clinical pharmacist, Sandra provided education and ensured optimal treatment for patients with diabetes, acid-base disorders, adequate sedation, and pulmonary, neurologic, and infectious diseases, as well as autoimmune conditions. As a manager, Sandra facilitated committee work to make formulary decisions, which entailed reviewing medications for their efficacy, safety, cost, and clinical impact on patients and prescribing.
