About Diane

I'm a Biomedical PhD turned life science industry professional, with 3+ years in equity research and corp dev in large corporation (Goldman Sachs) and private startup (>$650M in funding) settings. I have worked with other STEM graduates who have landed highly competitive roles in biotech/pharma, including top equity research and VC firms. My undergraduate mentees have also gone on to highly competitive PhD and MD programs. I received my BS in Biomedical Engineering from Columbia University and PhD in Biomedical Engineering from UCLA. Look forward to discussing and uncovering your potential together.

Why do I coach?

I have been passionate about professional development since my own PhD studies, where I was an active proponent for graduate students exploring their future career options. What I find is that so many qualified and talented candidates are often underselling their capabilities and achievements - especially coming out of academia, where the language and mindset is a little different. Pivoting into the industry takes a little bit of frame shift. The truth is, it's not easy, especially in the current economy. It's also NEVER TOO LATE to take hold of your future direction. I am excited to be here and be your coach and partner in that endeavor.
