​Your Skills, Reimagined

​How existing experience fuels your next career move

​Your next career move may be closer than you think. In this Career Catalyst session, Kayla Britt explores how the skills you already use—problem-solving, critical thinking, and navigating the unexpected—can translate into new roles, responsibilities, and opportunities across the life sciences industry.

​Drawing from her own transition into Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation (CQV), Kayla will share practical examples of how experience gained in research and other functions builds the foundation for success in highly regulated, real-world environments. The focus isn’t on changing who you are, it’s on reframing what you already know.

​You’ll walk away with:

• ​Clear ways to identify and articulate transferable skills from your current or past roles

• ​A stronger understanding of how critical thinking and adaptability apply across roles and career stages

• ​Practical strategies to position your experience for growth, pivots, or expanded responsibility

• ​Greater confidence navigating unexpected challenges and career transitions

​Who Should Attend
Life sciences professionals at any career stage—from early career to senior leadership—who want to better understand how their experience translates, gain career flexibility, or move forward with greater intention.

​About the Expert

​Kayla Britt, M.S.

​Published scientist and former cell-therapy validation engineer (Kite/Gilead) turned AI validation specialist. I translate context-of-use into acceptance criteria, URS/VP, executed evidence packs, and change-controlled releases—so R&D assistants and GxP-adjacent workflows are not just accurate, but audit-defensible.
