About me

A career can hold more than one interest.

Maria Tcherepanova

I’m Maria Tcherepanova. My background brings together medicine, scientific research and communication in the life sciences. I believe a career can grow beyond the boundaries of a single discipline, and that understanding the value of your experience is an important part of deciding what comes next.

These different strands shape my interest in how people make sense of their experience and choose a professional direction. My coaching and mentoring focuses on that work: recognising your strengths, finding words for your professional identity and making considered choices.

I bring curiosity, preparation and practical thinking to our conversations, with respect for your circumstances and your own judgement.
