Your Presenter

Jennifer Polk
PhD Career Coach
From PhD to Life
Hello! I'm Jen and I work as a career clarity coach for professors, postdocs, and other PhDs who are ready to leave academia.
My clients are overworked, underappreciated, and done compromising their values and priorities chasing prestige or a paycheck.
I teach them land great-fit jobs that let them live where they want, get paid well, and do meaningful work with supportive colleagues.
I do this work because too many PhDs are struggling to figure out what else they can do and land jobs where they’re valued and respected.
I help my clients focus on what’s important to them now, discover actually exciting opportunities, and confidently communicate what they have to offer so they can live their version of success even if it’s very different from where they imagined they’d be at this point in their careers.
Because I care about their success, how they envision it, and not their academic mentor’s idea of what they should be doing for a job or whether it directly connects with their research training.
