Career Coaching & Resources

Career coach and entrepreneur passionate about helping students and early-career professionals learn how to navigate their own path in life with purpose and defining their own success and happiness. I have worked with high school students, college students, and recent college graduates to explore careers, develop their careers, and achieve success in the job search. on career exploration, career development, and the job search. I specialize in working with clients on soft skills including networking, relationship-building, and cross-cultural communication. I have built my career in education (both K-12 and higher ed) and non-profits in the US and Taiwan, with extensive background in non-profit fundraising and external relations, alumni relations, STEM education, and college and graduate school admissions. I earned my bachelor’s degree in sociology with honors from the University of Chicago and my master’s degree in public policy from Duke University. I have also received training in Cognitive Coaching and Adaptive Schools from the Thinking Collaborative. I am a Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP) with training in Facilitating Career Development from the National Career Development Association (NCDA).

I’ve led cross-functional product and design teams through complex challenges across multiple industries, always with a clear strategic vision and hands-on expertise. My coaching is grounded in this lived experience—whether you’re navigating leadership, team dynamics, or design strategy, I’ve been there. I don’t just teach theory; I help you apply proven approaches that create real impact.

Ever find yourself stuck in a career that's clearly not right for you? That was me 15 years ago, but let me take you even further back. In 2007 I graduated from Duke with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I knew I didn't want to do engineering, so I made my first hard pivot - I landed a job at JPMorgan as an investment banker. 4 years later with a stop in venture banking, I knew it wasn't for me. I knew I wanted to change into something with a faster pace that would allow me to flex my creativity, but didn't know how to convince anyone to hire me without any direct experience. Now with nearly 13 years of marketing experience under my belt, I can say with enthusiasm that I was able to pivot into a career that's right for me. Knowing from first hand experience how soul crushing the wrong job can be, I'm personally invested in helping people get out and onto the right path for themselves.

I've always been fascinated by the way stories drive people to make the decisions they do in life. I received a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature in my undergraduate studies, along with minors in Creative Writing and Chinese Language. I understand, then, the power that stories hold to shape our lives.
