Coaches: They’re not just for athletes anymore!
A career coach can help you identify your dream career, strategize the best way to get there, and be your personal guide toward higher grades and a more impressive application.
Is Your Career Journey Like Being Stuck In a Bad Lab Group?
There’s the talker in the group that overwhelms you with way too much information and too many options. The bad influence who steers you towards things that are not in your best interest. The imposter (aka, the little voice inside your own head) that casts doubt despite your countless past successes. The rival who is always trying to one up you, chasing the same opportunities, at the same time, with the same or better credentials.
A career coach can help you rein in the talker, redirect the bad influence, silence the imposter, and beat the rival. What I mean is, a coach can
Filter out the irrelevant information helping you find the perfect career
Dig deeper to ensure your career selection is consistent with your values
Build your confidence and help you perform better in your classes
Help you build an application packet that makes you stand out from the competition.
Finally a coach that speaks your language!

Our team of coaches are established professionals with a strong foundational understanding of and direct experience in the fields of science and medicine. Our coaches have advanced degrees, many have published in prestigious science journals, and together have accumulated years of hands-on experience across various sectors (academia, government, industry, and non-profit). Work with a coach that really understands where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’re going within the world of science and medicine.
A coach that customizes academic and career coaching programs to best fit your needs, budget, and timeline.

“I went into the career sessions without a clue of what career I wanted to pursue or what colleges I wanted to go to. At the end of the sessions I had a list of about 5 careers and 10 colleges. I really appreciated how much values are taken into account during the sessions - I not only feel more confident in who I am but also in what I would like to do with my future. I would recommend this program to anyone feeling anxious and uncertain about their future!”
“I really appreciated the help in clarifying my goals and values. That process helped me to narrow my search instead of “boiling the ocean” by looking at all jobs out there. Also, practical tips in networking really made the difference in finding a rewarding job quickly.”
