I’ve spent almost 20 years helping people build meaningful careers—whether they’re applying to college, navigating a career transition, or preparing for their next professional step. As a career coach I specialize in job search strategy, résumé and cover letter writing, LinkedIn optimization, interview preparation, personal branding, and salary negotiation. I also support students and families through the college search, application, and decision-making process.
I regularly lead workshops and speaking engagements for diverse audiences and industries, and I’ve coached creatives, engineers, educators, business professionals, and multi-hyphenate career changers. My approach blends practical strategy with a global, equity-centered perspective shaped by travel to more than 70 countries across six continents.
I look forward to partnering with you on your next steps and helping you reach your goals.
