  1. This is a short a summary of my career. I actually started off with a desire to become a physician. However, after my junior year in college (I think!) I had the opportunity to spend a summer doing biomedical research and I was hooked. I started my research career as a scientist in academia, working at a hospital at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Next, I had two milestone transitions. The first came when I made the transition from academia to industry. I worked at Wyeth for two years then came to BMS. The second transition came when I transitioned out of the lab and began a career more focused on the business side of the company. Actions that facilitated my transition out of the lab: Reaching out to hiring managers for open positions and conducting “exploratory interviews” Volunteering on special projects such as science education reform Working with the executive director of the Center for Science Education (CSE) Talking with the VP of HR about my desire and my perceived skills and abilities to manage the CSE Building relationships outside of the lab Eventually I was able to secure a position in the CSE as a science education associate. Right from the start I informed my manger that I wanted to work towards a promotion to the next salary band and we put together a long-term plan to build my knowledge, skills, and abilities to facilitate the promotion (using tools like job shadow, job rotation, etc). I was eventually promoted to HR Skill Development Manager fully responsible for managing the CSE; an annual R&D scientific symposium with approximately 2000 presenters and attendees; and the R&D new employee integration program. My works connects me very closely with our global learning organization. I am now pursuing a masters in educational leadership through Capella University. My desires is to open a day school academy that operates using home school philosophy, principles, and values.
