You’re a successful woman in Pharma or Biotech.
You’ve built a career delivering at a high level and solving some of the toughest scientific, operational, and regulatory challenges, yet:
- You’re not getting promoted, despite owning your projects and outperforming expectations.
- You’ve applied to new roles, but the response is "not now," or worse, silence.
- You are tired of proving yourself and know you can make a bigger impact, if you just knew how.
- You don’t know what your next best role is, there’s no path forward and you know more of what you don’t want, than what you actually do.
- Direction and clarity in your career path
- Confidence in your value
- To position yourself to stand out in a competitive and male-dominated industry like Pharma
- A proven strategy that works even after hearing "no" and doing everything right.
In Pharma and Biotech, women are the backbone of the industry, making up over half the workforce but holding less than 20% of leadership roles. You’re doing everything right, yet still getting passed over, and you’re left wondering why.
Here’s the hard truth: you weren't taught the right skills to succeed.
The industry rewards confidence over competence, and no amount of following the status quo will get you where you deserve to be.
You don’t need more generic advice. You need a clear, actionable strategy that amplifies your strengths, builds unshakable confidence, and equips you to break through barriers.
You can have a career you love, without overworking or sacrificing values. I can show you how.
Women just like you get results with the your worthy career® method

Women in Pharma and Biotech weren’t meant to fit in, they were meant to lead. I'm here to make sure they do.

Hi, I’m Melissa.
Former Pharma/Biotech Talent Leader | Career & Leadership Coach for Women in Industry
With 15+ years across the Pharma and Biotech industry from CROs to biotech startups to big pharma, and a Master’s in Organizational Psychology, I’ve seen firsthand the struggles of succeeding in a white, male dominated space. As a Certified Professional Coach and former HR and Talent leader, I blend insider industry knowledge, evidence-based career strategies, and the kind of transformational growth only coaching can deliver.
I teach ambitious women in Pharma and Biotech how to rise into meaningful, high-impact roles—without burning out or playing by outdated, bros-club rules. These are the strategies you won’t learn from your boss, your HR team, or another LinkedIn webinar.
I’m not just coaching careers, I’m leading a movement.
A movement of trailblazing women who are defining their own paths, breaking through the glass ceiling, and taking control of their careers—without compromising who they are.
I know what it’s like to feel overlooked, underestimated, and underappreciated. I also know what it takes to rise in an industry that wasn’t built for us—and I’m here to help you do the same.
It’s time to ditch the imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and endless overthinking. You’re not here to play small. You’re here to lead with impact and build the career—and life—you’re truly worthy of.

Katherine got her dream job...
Katherine got multiple offers after her boss turned down her promotion. She moved into her dream role with a sign-on bonus in 3 months. "I used to be chronically indecisive; now, I make decisions with ease and with confidence in my intuition. I am fighting against imposter's syndrome and perfectionism and experiencing unprecedented wins every week. Melissa's unique coaching style has completely transformed the way I show up to (and outside of) work."
Quality Assurance
Angela got her dream job created for her...
"Before Melissa, I was a manager in a job I was frustrated with, but of a team I loved and didn't want to leave. Her coaching was exactly what I needed to help me know myself, my strengths, my goals and reset my thinking. Today I am a Director (promoted twice since coaching with Melissa) in a job I love with a team I cherish, and I credit a lot of my growth to my mindset. I have Melissa to thank for that mindset shift and positive change I needed in myself. I have it said it before, and will say it again: Coaching is the best personal investment you can make in yourself."
Manufacturing Operations
Erin got her dream job and a sign on bonus...
"I know what role is right for me. I know I’m exactly where I need to be now. Through coaching with Melissa, I now have confidence in my decisions and my career."
Clinical Operations
Cristin upgraded her job and self-confidence...
"Change is scary. Staying put was scarier. Melissa helped me to reframe many of the thoughts and beliefs that kept me from reaching my personal and professional goals, and from being happy at work. I've since earned a position in a company that values its employees and promotes a healthy work/life balance...and I *feel* that shift. I sleep through the night; am able to be more present with my fr-amily; and understand the protective value of the word "no". "
Project Management
From bench to senior leadership -
Here’s What’s Possible:
For women ready to land their next big role or promotion:
We’ll create a clear, personalized roadmap with my Career Protocol process, helping you uncover exactly what you want and positioning you as the obvious choice in interviews and promotion discussions. You’ll walk in knowing how to communicate your value, stand out as the expert, and secure the role that’s aligned with your ambition.
For those already in leadership roles or stepping into them:
You'll learn how to position yourself as a strategic thought leader, mastering the art of stakeholder management, influencing without authority, and communicating effectively at all levels. You’ll stop worrying about “executive presence” and instead, become the leader that people look to for guidance and vision.
