LinkedIn Live Replay: Pivots, Passions, and Social Impact
There is a particular kind of pressure that follows early-career STEM professionals from the moment they graduate. The pressure to choose the right first job. The right field. The right path. The one that sets the trajectory for everything that comes after.
But what if that is not how careers actually work?
In this AdaMarie LinkedIn Live, 2026 AdaMarie Fellow June Sirichusinwong sits down with Jasmine Muse, senior regulatory affairs professional and executive board member of the Atlanta RAPS Chapter, and someone who knows firsthand what it looks like to build a career that evolves for a conversation about pivots, passions, and what it means to find your way in STEM.
Jasmine started her journey in the chemical industry before pivoting to the regulatory side of the field. And what she shares about that transition (what prompted it, what made it feel possible, and what she wishes she had known earlier) is the kind of honest, practical insight that most professionals only get access to years into their career.
The conversation covers a lot of ground. What the purpose of a first job actually is. How to explore new interests without feeling like you are falling behind. What it looks like to navigate a pivot when you also have financial constraints, family responsibilities, or a deep need for security. And how to translate genuine curiosity into real career movement without making a drastic leap before you are ready.
This one is for anyone who has ever felt like they chose the wrong path or wondered whether it is too late to choose a different one.
It is not. And this conversation will remind you why.
The full replay is available inside the AdaMarie Professional Network.
