As Chair for the U.C. Santa Cruz STEM Post-Doc Association, I held workshops and trainings to help students and post-docs successfully navigate the journey from academia to industry. To effectively support those I was leading, I inundated myself in learning the process of how to get a job in an industry and that has led to a wealth of knowledge I've continued to share as I've counseled hundreds of others since that time. I've also gone on to give talks at STEM conferences and programs at universities for how to navigate the job hunting process.
If you're a Medical Professional, Post-Doc, Grad Student, or BS looking to enter or move around the biotech/biopharma industry I can help you successfully make that transition.
I intend to continue offering my Free career support sessions for anyone who is not in a financial situation where they can afford to pay for sessions (links above will take you to all the offers). I trust each individual to select the session type that fits their situation accordingly.
I know that my Free openings can get booked up quickly so if someone needs to schedule time with me sooner, please feel free to check the openings within either paid session type for earlier availability.
