Imagine this:

You’ve successfully transitioned from academia or clinical work into an industry role where your skills are valued and your impact is clear.

 

No more second-guessing how to position yourself—you’re confident, in control, and moving forward in a career that excites you.

But the truth is,

You’re an academic or clinician feeling trapped in a career that no longer fits

 

You have valuable skills, but translating them to industry? That’s another story. The job market feels overwhelming (hello, LinkedIn doom scrolling!), and figuring out the right path—let alone how to stand out—seems impossible.

And if you’re a faculty member or advisor, you see talented students and postdocs struggling on the academic job market and struggling to navigate transition to industry, but you don’t have the industry experience to guide them. You want to help—but where do you even start?

So, we ventured into the corporate world, scaling teams, driving innovation, and proving that a scientific mindset is a superpower in any industry. Now, we’re using what we’ve learned to help you unlock new opportunities.

Christine’s expertise and guidance have been invaluable in my transition from academia to industry.

"Her keen understanding of what employers are looking for allowed her to transform my lengthy, dense CV into a concise and impactful one-page resume. She provided concrete recommendations on how to reformat my academic CV, ensuring it would be easily readable and tailored for the specific industry role I was targeting.

Thanks to Christine’s support, I now have a powerful resume that effectively highlights my translatable skills and experiences. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a career transition."
