Hi, I'm Marie biotech scientist, founder of Lab Skills Academy, and the big sister in STEM nobody told you about. I help undergrad and early-career scientists find their place in the industry.
I walked into undergrad with one dream: become a physician. After two years, I realized the passion just wasn't there and that realization led me somewhere so much better.
I packed up, moved to Boston without knowing a single soul, earned my master's at Northeastern, navigated corporate politics at big pharma, and landed exactly where I was meant to be working with iPSCs at a startup that actually values me.
Now I'm here to tell you: a bad grade, a wrong turn, or a change of heart is not the end of your story. It might just be the plot twist that leads you somewhere better.

Whether you need a keynote, a workshop, or a one-on-one session to figure out your next move I've got you.
"Marie's talk completely changed how I saw my 'failed' pre-med path. I left that session actually excited about biotech for the first time."
"The resume workshop was the most practical thing I've done for my career. Got my first biotech interview two weeks later."
"We brought Marie in for our STEM day and the students would not stop talking about her. Real, relatable, and genuinely inspiring."
