Description:
Rethinking a career progression is not uncommon; however, the challenges it poses can make pivots difficult to discuss. I offer to you a platform for open dialogue and guidance on making the switch. From a pre-veterinary undergraduate track to a doctoral student in CSD and now a consultant, my experiences will advise you on how to make your career pivot a successful one.
