Medical Science Liaison-Facial Aesthetics
I am a scientist that supports a facial aesthetics portfolio at a pharmaceutical company.
I engage with medical care providers within my therapeutic area (Botox, fillers, cool sculpting, etc.). I mainly dig into the clinical work that is being done and support our sales teams. Being a medical science liaison is a field-based role, so I cover the areas of Los Angeles, Orange County, and Hawaii and I work with colleagues in the same areas. I'm not tied to an office and have the flexibility to work from anywhere I want, which is great when it comes to balancing my work and family life.
Here's the first step for college students
Explore and realize that there are no barriers to your dream job. Take a job that will open up those opportunities to pursue your dream and build up to it. Be flexible and willing to compromise. Don't be ashamed of having to take jobs that might not be perfectly aligned with what you want to do. You will be building skills regardless, so make the most of it. Find really great mentors.
