Stop waiting to be noticed. Identify your ideal role and position yourself so opportunities come to you—without burnout or politics. Applications close November 4th.
Is it time that you had a career you deserve?
SEcuRE YOUR SPOt
You know you want something different
Or maybe you know exactly what you want—but you can't seem to get there.
If you're unclear:
- Job postings don't excite you.
- Asking for a promotion doesn't feel right.
- When someone asks "what's next?" you freeze.
If you're being overlooked:
- You've asked for the promotion—been told "not yet."
- You've applied to roles you're qualified for—been ghosted.
- You've done the work, proven your value, watched others advance.
- You're capable of more than what you're doing now
- Staying where you are isn't the answer
- But what you're doing now isn't working
It's that you're either trying to pick from options never designed for you—or you're waiting for someone else to recognize what you already know you deserve.
Both paths keep you stuck.
The Right Move Protocol™ is Your Insider's Playbook.
The Visible Path (where most women get stuck):
Apply to posted jobs
Wait to be noticed
Hope your boss advocates for you
Stay stuck while others advance
The Hidden Path (where careers actually transform):
Get clear on your ideal role (even if it doesn't exist yet)
Build strategic visibility without feeling salesy
Have opportunities come to you
Create roles that match your expertise
The Right Move Protocol™ teaches you and guides you step-by-step to your personalized hidden path.

Anonymous discovered how to get out of the lab and into pm without experience
Learning how to articulate my transferrable skills is a game changer...
I loved getting to know the other women and seeing that my struggles were not unique! Having someone help me figure out what I bring to the table and how to articulate my transferrable skills is a game changer for me. I knew I needed to make changes, but having someone be able to help me navigate what they were was exactly what I needed.

hey there!
I'm Melissa,
Your New Coach.
With 15 years in the Pharma/Biotech industry, I know how you feel, because I was there, too.
Former Pharma/Biotech Talent Leader | Career & Leadership Coach for Women in Industry
I spent 15+ years navigating corporate Pharma/Biotech, ultimately leading Talent Development at AstraZeneca. I had a seat at the table and still felt something was missing.
I created The Right Move Protocol because I saw too many brilliant women being overlooked, second-guessing themselves, or waiting years for the recognition and roles they’d earned.
Since leaving corporate, I’ve helped 50+ women in the industry land promotions, transition to leadership, and create roles that never existed — all without burning out or selling out.
You don’t need to work more hours or play a political game.
You just need to know the strategy.

Let's Talk Investment
You've invested $100K+ in your education to get INTO Pharma and Biotech.
Your degrees gave you technical credibility.
They qualified you. They got you in the door.
But they didn't teach you:
- How promotion decisions actually get made
- How to navigate organizational politics with integrity
- How to build strategic visibility with confidence and authenticity
- How to position yourself for roles that aren't posted
- How to make your technical expertise translate to leadership impact
- How to know that you're making the right moves for you.
This is the missing piece that makes your education investment actually pay off.

Real Questions from Women Like You
Why do i need a coach?
Think about it—have you ever played a sport or an instrument? The best performers always have a coach.
Not because they’re not talented, but because a coach sees what you can’t. I help you refine what you’re already doing, identify what’s missing, and fast-track your results.
As a career strategist and industry expert, I don’t just support you—I guide you to make the right decisions, avoid unnecessary detours, and focus only on what actually moves the needle.
No more wasted effort. No more guessing. Just a smart plan that works.
What if I’m not job searching—just want clarity or internal growth?
Perfect. This was built for that too. Not everyone needs to leave—some just need a better plan to grow.
How fast do I see results?
Most clients gain clarity in 30 days. Many land roles or promotions by 2–4 months. And since career growth compounds over time, the real shift in how you lead your career pays dividends for the next 12 months—and beyond.
Can you guarantee I get a new job or promotion in 4 months?
I cannot guarantee specific outcomes. What I can promise is that you'll have a proven strategic framework, personalized expert support, and the skills to navigate your career with confidence for the rest of your life.
My clients consistently report landing new roles, promotions, salary increases, and roles created specifically for them. But the real transformation is having a repeatable system that works for your entire career—not just this one move.
You'll have 12 months of access (not just 4 months live), which means you have time to implement, refine, and see compounding results.
The cost of waiting costs more than just time.
Not just financially—but in clarity, credibility, and compounding opportunities.
Every month you spin in indecision is a month:
- You don’t get seen for the leader you already are
- You lose thousands in salary growth and bonus comp
- You miss visibility opportunities that won’t come around twice
- You’re delaying the ripple effect of compounding promotions—because the next one builds on this one
- You delay finally getting a role that match your level and potential.
If you want to change the trajectory of your career, can you really afford to wait?
- Another certification.
- To wait for the next budget cycle.
- To spend another year hoping something changes.
- To figure this out alone.
Here's what you actually need:
A clear, strategic path—and the expert support to execute it.
The Right Move Protocol™ is how smart women in Pharma take control of their careers—and change the entire trajectory.
