Dr. Hana Consulting began as an extension of informal mentorship provided to students and early-career professionals interested in entering the medical device and digital health industry. Over the years, many individuals with strong academic backgrounds in biology, engineering, and related STEM fields sought guidance on how to navigate the transition from university to industry, understand available career paths, and position themselves competitively.

Drawing on over 15 years of experience in medical devices, product development, and digital health, along with academic teaching in biomedical engineering, the mentorship approach evolved into a more structured framework focused on practical career strategy, skill alignment, and industry insight.

As the demand for personalized guidance grew, the initiative developed into Dr. Hana Consulting, with the goal of providing thoughtful, experience-based mentorship to help early-career professionals move with clarity and confidence toward impactful roles that contribute to advancing healthcare technology.

Dr. Hana Consulting has grown from individual mentorship conversations into a structured approach that helps early-career and transitioning professionals navigate complex career decisions with clarity and confidence. Through personalized guidance grounded in real industry experience, the practice supports individuals at different stages, from students seeking their first internship to experienced professionals exploring meaningful career transitions.

Key accomplishments include:

• helping students secure their first internship or full-time role in STEM and healthcare-related fields

• supporting international students in understanding the U.S. job market, strengthening resumes, and learning effective application strategies

• guiding mid-career professionals in successfully transitioning into teaching and academic roles

• mentoring candidates with backgrounds in biology and data science to obtain internships within the medical device industry

• helping mentees identify career paths aligned with both their technical skills and long-term goals

• building confidence in professionals navigating unfamiliar industries or career transitions

What is most rewarding is seeing mentees move from uncertainty to clarity, gaining direction, confidence, and tangible opportunities that move their careers forward.

Today, Dr. Hana Consulting continues to expand its impact by supporting a growing community of motivated professionals seeking to contribute to healthcare innovation, medical technology, and STEM education.
