A New Beginning

I will try and keep this short, as there are a lot of complexities I can try and address in the comments. For those of you who have seen my recent posts, I suffered a TBI which brought my life to a halt; things are still different, but things have improved significantly. I am ready to get on with life and start building something I'm proud of - building a career, building a family, etc.

This fall, I'll be doing an online MSc in neuroscience at the Kings College London which I'm very excited about, but, candidly, I am BROKE right now struggling to find ways to pay rent to rent month. However, there are people in the program who work full time jobs (and take summer classes and such); this will definitely be the case for me.

My background is, essentially: 1 year IBD, 1.5 years PE, 1.5 years PE. My resume looks sexy and all, but I feel it's a bit disjointed for the types of companies I want to work for, particularly health / wellness focused startups. 

You all have been so helpful in the past and I would greatly appreciate any advice on my job search. I'm not SUPER salary sensitive, but like earning $40k per year would be a littleeee tough.

Let me know if there are are any other details I ought to fill and THANK YOU. :)
