Hi, I’m Melissa.

Former BioPharma Talent Leader. Organizational Psychology expert. Career strategist for women in industry. Best-Selling Author of Your Worthy Career: A Science-Backed Method to Build a Meaningful Career in Pharma and Biotech.

Six years ago I left a 12-year career in Pharma and Biotech to build something that didn't exist: a coaching practice designed specifically for the women she used to work alongside.

I spent over a decade in Talent and Organizational Development inside global companies — AstraZeneca, Human Genome Sciences, and Emergent BioSolutions — watching how decisions about people were actually made inside real organizations, across real teams, inside real Pharma and Biotech culture. That's where her Master's in Organizational Psychology stopped being theory and started being a diagnostic tool.

My methodology blends career strategy with organizational psychology and six years of coaching women across large Pharma, mid-size Biotech, and growth-stage companies. It doesn't start with your resume. It starts with what's actually happening — how you're positioned, what story the people around you are telling about your work, and what you actually want, which is sometimes harder to access than it sounds.

As the founder of Your Worthy Career, the only recognized career and leadership coach working exclusively with women in Pharma and Biotech, host of the Your Worthy Career podcast, and author of Your Worthy Career: A Science-Backed Method to Build a Meaningful Career in Pharma and Biotech.
