A slight stray from the path
I still would like to end up in the drug development field but I may approach it from a different pathway...
Two weeks ago now, I attended an open house for a Masters in Biotechnology program here on campus. This opened my eyes to an opportunity to segue into the field and industry but with a shorter time span than many years of a PhD.
This program will allow me to better develop my molecular bench techniques and enhance my repertoire for the business and law foundation of the development process. The program will also facilitate great leaps in my ability to convey the essential knowledge necessary for striking deals and grow my confidence so I can be a more valuable asset in my current organization.
The growth mindset that I have allows for many ideas to flourish but until they are a pitch on a napkin they are simply dreams that come and go. The Masters in Biotechnology will help lay the groundwork for collaboration of new ideas and solutions to the way I approach problems.
In short, this is the best way for me to segue into the industry and gain the skills and abilities to really advance myself forward both as a motivated learner and in my career.
I have also taken attempts to go beyond my comfort zone in having face to face confrontational conversation with my boss to resolve issues within the program. Being able to convey the issues at hand but also suggesting solutions allowed for a way to directly put out my concerns but also provide a platform for improvement. I also stepped outside my introverted self and through networking met with a complete stranger in person to continue to develop my Russian language skills.
This coincided with the launch of the DUOLINGO application's new addition of Russian to their language laboratory and I now am on a three day streak of bettering my skill in that department.
I hope that with my new found degree in biotechnology that I can couple this with my love of language and travel and pursue some growth opportunities abroad to put my newly acquired skills into practice.
