Welcome!

Welcome to "Insights Beyond Bloodwork", a haven for those of us in the life sciences who believe our paths extend far beyond the confines of lab benches and test tubes. My journey from a medical laboratory scientist to where I am now as a commercial life science manager has taught me one crucial lesson: there is a vast world of opportunities out there, waiting for those daring enough to explore.

This Newsletter is not just about my story, though. It's about all of us who have felt that stirring, that yearning for something more. Whether you're dreaming of stepping into the business side of healthcare, transforming into an entrepreneur, or exploring entirely new territories, you're in the right place.

Here, we'll dive into the realities of making such a transition: the challenges, the successes, and the myriad steps in between. From actionable advice on navigating your career path to inspirational tales of those who've made the leap, our goal is to empower you to take that next step with confidence.

The best part about writhing here is that I am still on my journey, so we will do it together, it’s not just going to be about success stories, it’s going to be real life happenings, together, afraid and daring.

The vision is to create a premier online destination for life science professionals seeking to expand their career horizons beyond the laboratory bench. This blog will serve as a beacon of inspiration, offering guidance, success stories, and practical advice for transitioning into diverse roles within the commercial, business, and entrepreneurial sectors of life sciences.

Please subscribe if you are a Life science professional at any career stage feeling constrained by lab work or an early career professional or student in life sciences contemplating non-lab career paths.

I invite you to join our community of #benchtobusinessfellows. Let's explore what lies beyond bloodwork together.
