Career advancement can feel like an experiment that requires meticulous planning and careful analysis.
Leverage Fulcrum Point Career Solutions to guide your strategy, develop your career, and land your dream position.
Hello. I'm Mike.
As a PhD-trained cancer biologist and career coach, I've experienced and witnessed the frustration of feeling uncertain about or under-prepared for pivotal career moments. You're expected to excel without ever being taught how. Common challenges include:
- Managing career transitions
- Navigating complex job searches
- Auto-rejected or ghosted applications
- Mastering job interviews
- Negotiating fair compensation
These struggles can lead many to doubt their value and skills.
That's why I became a career coach. With 13 years of experience guiding scientists from academia and industry, I specialize in empowering professionals to overcome these hurdles. My coaching approach combines:
- Practical and pragmatic strategies
- Collaboration and partnership to build trust
- Personalized, clear, and actionable plans to achieve your goals
You're not alone in this journey. Let's work together to transform your career aspirations into reality.
My Mission

I aim to ensure you feel confident and have clarity on what comes next, all so you are recognized and fully rewarded for your talents and contributions.
My Vision
For every professional, no matter their background, to have access to and benefit from career coaching, so they may pivot toward careers and positions where they are valued and included or their perspectives, recognized and compensated equitably, and provided with the resources they need to thrive.
