In this episode, I spoke to Tara Lawrence, the founder of Origo Consulting, who shared her unique journey from academia to the world of business.
With a background in biochemistry and plant genetics, Tara initially pursued a career as a research fellow, after taking a career break she found herself seeking new opportunities.
Tara, unexpectedly found herself working as a business analyst for a software company. She discovered that the skills she had honed during her academic career were highly transferable to the business environment.
Tara's advice is to build a strong network and to be open to opportunities. Her journey serves as an inspiring reminder that career paths can be non-linear and that embracing change can lead to fulfilling and rewarding experiences.
