I am an Assistant Professor at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, Chicago, USA. After completing my Biology degree at the University of Porto, Portugal, I underwent a 9 month international internship at the IIT Research Institute in Chicago and that’s when I fell in love with Academia research. I then came back to Chicago to complete my PhD and Postdoctoral studies in the field of Biology and Cancer Research. Throughout my scientific career, I’ve applied to and received several grant awards and I have met several people with different research paths and experiences that helped me shape my own path. I’ve also completed several workshops in mentoring, grant writing, budgeting, time management and all these experiences and the people I met led me to where I am right now. It was during these workshops that I developed a keen interest in helping others build and succeed in their own career and the reason why I am now part of Chaperone! I will do my best to help guide you in whatever questions or needs you have.
Chaperone plays a vital role in today’s future. I witnessed firsthand how they played an instrumental role in widening the horizon of our Ph.D. students. Through a very well-structured entrepreneurial bootcamp, Chaperone consultants managed to deliver actionable knowledge that I have no doubt will help our researchers streamline more sustainable careers.
The session with Chaperone was amazing! I’ve got a lot of insights and I feel like I know more about myself and what I want to do in life! Absolutely mind blown! Thank you so much!
I had two sessions with Chaperone, one to prepare a competitive CV able to make me stand out, and another to prepare for an interview. Both sessions went really well, with the advice being clear and very useful, with an emphasis on the small things which ultimately made a big difference.
My session was very challenging and clarifying. The consultant was a very intelligent and open minded specialist and defied me to push my limits while understanding my reality, and helped me to organize my thoughts regarding my doubts, empowering me to make a clear and fundamented decision. I highly recommend Chaperone.
With Chaperone, it has been possible to tailor and deliver career support programs that match the needs of the students and researchers at Karolinska Institute. We appreciate Chaperones’ well-structured operations management, a wide range of career-development-related topics and activities, and the great career consultants. We look forward to continuing this fruitful collaboration!
The increase in complexity surrounding the science job market emphasizes the need for career counselling and coaching, in both the private and academic settings.
