Join us for a conversation on navigating the genetic counseling field as a newly minted genetic counselor featuring Yakira Begun MS '22, Jamie Rand MS '20, and Sophia Rodriguez MS '20. Learn from these distinguished alumni as they reflect upon some of the common challenges of genetic counselors who are just starting out. They will discuss their experiences navigating job searches, compensation negotiation, transitioning from graduate school, adapting to a new work culture, and managing mental health challenges, such as imposter syndrome, depression, and anxiety, as well as support structures for managing them. The session will conclude with the speakers offering an opportunity for questions and answers.
