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ambitious women in Pharma and Biotech how to rise into meaningful, high-impact roles—without burning out or playing by outdated, bros-club rules.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.
