Hi! I am a technical writer focused on making complex scientific and technological information accessible. With a background in Biology and Biotechnology, experience in a software company, and three years of experience writing over 350 SR&ED reports, I simplify many STEM concepts for diverse audiences. 

I have built strong relationships through interviews with over 180 SR&ED claimants and collaborate with scientists and programmers to present information clearly, helping STEM professionals secure non-dilutive funding for their projects.

On my profile, you will primarily encounter information on careers for STEM grads and STEM professionals because I'm also passionate about informing STEM grads about their career options (while navigating my own career).

If you have a PhD, MSc, or more certifications than a small university…
And you still feel stuck?

You're not the problem.

The truth is, many credentials are optimized for institutions, not the market.

They teach rigour, not revenue.

They value prestige, not positioning.

And when it's time to actually build a career?

You realize:
Credentials don't help, unless someone pays for the outcome.

It's not too late.

You just need a different game plan.

Here's where to start:

1️⃣  Translate your expertise into outcomes people pay for
Stop leading with degrees. Start with the problems you solve and the results you deliver.

2️⃣ Build visibility around your insights, not your résumé
Share what you know in public. Write, speak, teach. Credentials get you in the room, thought leadership keeps you there.

3️⃣ Learn the language of value creation
Academic language impresses peers. Business language closes deals. Bridge the gap.

4️⃣ Position yourself at the intersection
Your unique edge isn't your Master's or PhD alone, it's how you apply specialized knowledge to real-world challenges others can't solve.

The credentials weren't wasted.

They're just the foundation, not the finished product.

The best job board on LinkedIn isn't the Jobs tab.
It's the "People Also Viewed" section on profiles.

When you view someone's profile, LinkedIn's algorithm shows you other people with similar roles, industries, and career paths.

It's basically a curated list of your potential next job targets.

Here's how to use it:
→ Find someone in your dream role at a company you like
→ Check their "People Also Viewed" section
→ Discover other people in similar positions at similar companies
→ Build a target list of companies you didn't know existed

This works incredibly well for niche science and healthcare roles.

Looking for a biostatistician position? Find one biostatistician, and LinkedIn shows you dozens more across different companies.

Want to break into regulatory affairs? Same strategy.

You'll discover competing companies, see hiring patterns, and identify skills that appear consistently across these profiles.

This will help you to find companies you never would have thought to apply to.

Small biotech firms, niche medical device companies, specialized consulting groups.

All because LinkedIn's algorithm does the heavy lifting.

What role are you going to explore first?

I Track Where STEM Grads Actually End Up. Here's the Pattern.

📉 Some pivot early
📈 Some rise in adjacent fields
🔁 Some re-skill completely

Not because they failed, but because they adapted.

Degrees launch you.

But decisions evolve you.

I'll keep sharing what I find. 

Because if you understand the patterns, you stop feeling behind and start getting strategic.

Everyone told STEM students the big lie:
 “You’ll always have job security.”

But the real lie went deeper:

 That there’s only one right path
 ➡️ Get the degree
 ➡️ Get the job
 ➡️ Climb the ladder

In reality?

STEM grads are switching industries, building businesses, learning design, going into policy, and becoming creators.

Not because they failed, but because the ladder was never built for them.

The new system isn’t about degrees (even though they have good benefits for those who wish to stay in academia).

 It’s about leveraging your skills to facilitate change in the industry. 

Most people don’t need a new degree.

They need to redefine their paths.

Let's be honest:
"Just apply more."
"Tailor your resume."
"Use the right keywords."

This advice fails because it assumes the market is fair.

But the real world is messy.
✖️ Closed networks
✖️ Biased filters
✖️ Hiring based on vibes > value

It's not about playing harder.

It's about playing differently.

So what does that actually look like?

1. Build visibility before you need it
Post about your work. Share insights from projects. Comment on industry trends. When opportunities arise, you want decision-makers already familiar with your name.

2. Access the hidden market
80% of roles never see a job board. Reach out to people doing the work you want. Ask about their challenges. Offer value first. Relationships unlock doors that applications can't.

3. Create your own proof
Can't get experience without a job? Build it anyway. Side projects. Spec work. Case studies. Show, don't tell. Make hiring you the obvious choice.

4. Stop waiting for permission
The people who win aren't always the most qualified. They're the ones who showed up, added value, and made it impossible to ignore them.

The system isn't fair.

But you're not helpless.

What's one move you can make this week that doesn't rely on fairness?
