Design the life and career that
works for you with KD Nguyễn.
Scientist. Leader. Mentor. Coach.
PhD, Human Genetics & Molecular Biology
I work with under-recognized professionals in STEM to realize and harness their full potential in work and life since 2024.
Personalized coaching tailored to individual goals, allowing deeper reflection to develop action plans that are customized to individual awareness
Coaching in small groups with shared or similar goals and intention allows reflection upon individual perspective, peer learning, support, and accountability
Understand how you show up energetically, your current ability to lead yourself and others toward positive and productive action is the first step towards a more intentional and impactful life
Imagine having a skilled thinking partner who asks just the right questions to help you unlock your own answers. That’s what coaching is – a unique partnership where you discover your own path forward. Unlike advice from friends, family, and even mentors, coaching helps you explore your true goals and challenges in a structured way that empowers insights from within you. As you gain deeper understanding of yourself and what drives you, you develop not just solutions to current challenges, but the skills to tackle future ones with greater confidence.
As a certified iPEC coach, I partner with early and mid-career STEM professionals to approach career development with purpose and clarity. I understand that while technical excellence is essential, sustainable career growth comes from making conscious choices about how you navigate workplace dynamics, build relationships, and advocate for your contributions. My coaching philosophy centers on the belief that each moment – whether it’s a challenging project, a difficult conversation, or a career crossroads – presents an opportunity to align your actions with your professional aspirations. Together, we will explore how to make intentional choices that enhance both your technical impact and professional influence.
