Kelly Krasner’s passion for healthcare deepened after losing her parents to cancer at a young age. With nearly 20 years of experience, including 13 years in radiology, and a stint in healthcare startups, she faced challenges finding a new role after being downsized in 2023. Despite her willingness to take a step back in title and income—a reflection of her desire to make a difference—Krasner's job search proved frustrating due to perceptions about her experience and age. Ultimately, she decided to pivot and explore new opportunities after a year of unsuccessful applications.
"I was applying and applying, and unfortunately-perhaps because of my age, my status, or people thinking I had to have a high title or a high income-I just wasn't getting the roles."
"I was okay with less money. I wasn't really interested in the title. I was just interested in making a difference."
