Who am I?
My name is Riva, and I specialize in helping individuals transition their careers from academia to industry. I got my PhD in Biomedical Sciences and went on to do a post-doc during which I became Chair of the STEM Postdoc association for UC Santa Cruz. In this role I put on many workshops and trainings to teach STEM grad students and post-docs how to get a job in Industry. I successfully made my own career transition to Regulatory Affairs in Industry about 4 years ago and have since helped hundreds and hundreds more post-docs, grad students, & undergrads to successfully navigate their own career transitions to industry. With the wealth of knowledge I've accumulated, I decided to make this course in hopes to make what I have to share more accessible to academics everywhere.
This class can help anyone in the following categories who are trying to enter industry:
STEM PhDs
STEM Post-docs
Individuals with professional degrees (MD, PharmD, etc)
STEM Graduate students
STEM Master's students
STEM Undergraduates

Project:
It can be easy to procrastinate and not actually get around to creating or optimizing your LinkedIn Profile so I want to challenge you to create and share your LinkedIn profile for your class project.
I'd love to see the progress on your LinkedIn Profile!
Once you've created and optimized your LinkedIn Profile, post it in the Skillshare class project section. I'll be checking out people's profiles, giving some tips, and of course connecting with you on LinkedIn. You can also check out other students' profiles and give feedback.
To add a link to your LinkedIn profile for your project, click the "Other" button under 'Add More Content', paste in a link to your LinkedIn profile, and press the 'Add' button.
You can give it a project title of "Your Name's" LinkedIn Profile .
