Primary Source Careers bridges the gap between PhDs, researchers, and organizations seeking specialized talent. As a translation researcher with a PhD from UC Berkeley, I use qualitative research methods including interviews, document analysis, and organizational ethnography to understand how different institutional cultures actually work. This deep expertise allows me to translate fluently between the distinct worlds of higher education, the public sector, and industry.

I specialize in connecting big-picture workforce trends to individual career transitions, helping researchers and professionals navigate critical early-to-mid-career stages where leadership development is often overlooked. Whether you're an individual seeking guidance, an organization looking to find and retain research talent, or a leader navigating institutional change, I provide the insights and coaching needed to make informed decisions about specialized talent placement and career development.
