After 13 years in clinical practice as a primary care physician, I knew I was ready for a new challenge—not just because of burnout, but because I wanted to grow both personally and professionally. Navigating that kind of transition can feel overwhelming, but working with Heather made all the difference.
Heather’s approach helped me better understand what I truly wanted from my next career chapter. One particularly impactful exercise focused on identifying which attributes of a new role were most important to me—a process that brought so much clarity to my job search. Her guidance also helped me refine my resume through multiple drafts, ultimately highlighting the unique skills I bring as a physician looking to pivot.
Perhaps most valuable were the mock interviews. Heather’s advice to structure responses as stories was a game-changer. I truly believe that insight helped me land my dream job in medical affairs in the pharmaceutical industry.
The journey wasn’t a quick one—I initially transitioned into the nonprofit sector, working in Alzheimer’s research and system preparedness, before securing a role in pharma about 15 months later. But Heather stuck with me through every step of the process. Her expertise, encouragement, and steady presence were instrumental, and I can’t recommend her highly enough to any physician considering a career shift.
