But during her coursework and internships at ACPHS, Kelly started to notice her strengths and interests lay elsewhere. In this episode of Occupation Station hear how Kelly was able to put her degree from ACPHS into lucrative service to support her new goal to earn a Ph.D. from the University of Buffalo. Diverging from her original path moved her toward the highly specialized work that she currently does at GlaxoSmithKline. It’s work that she finds to be a perfect fit. Now she encourages students to reach out to alumni to learn more about career opportunities that can grow out of their studies at ACPHS. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
