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 have spent the last 10+ years building my own career and helping my peers and direct reports along the way. In my role as a leader, I have a focus on the career development of my team members to ensure they are prepared for whatever comes next for them and providing opportunities that match their development needs. Outside of that, I have also been trained in the Co-Active certification program, working with individual clients over the last 3 years to help them gain clarity on what they want next in their career and how to create actionable next steps to get there.

I enjoy helping my clients craft a professional and compelling resume that highlights their skills, experiences, and achievements effectively. I assist in identifying your strengths, interests, and goals to help you make informed decisions about your career path. Together, we can develop strategies for professional growth, explore alternative career options, and improve your chances of securing the job you desire.

I spent 8 years trying to figure out how to climb the corporate ladder and "manage up"; early on in my career, I was unsuccessful. It wasn't until I started establishing relationships with a few helpful mentors, studying for my MBA, and when I volunteered as a Career mentor for undergrad students did I learn from mistakes and start to better understand what was needed to build a successful career. So, utilizing my personal failures and successes, including landing a role as a Sr. Consultant at a Consulting firm, despite applying off-season, and my natural ability to coach, I now help recent undergrads in career development. I particularly enjoy and excel working with recent undergrad students understanding that post graduation is an anxious time, especially for those unsure of their career. Besides providing support and advice, I coach my clients in understanding themselves and determining their goals so that they approach each role confidently and with a strong narrative. Clients of mine have been able to learn sustainable relationship and career building skills, allowing them to make a positive impact in their role and advance in their career.

With years of experience career coaching individuals at the nation's top public university, I specialize in helping clients achieve their dream jobs through comprehensive resume reviews, salary negotiation strategies, and interview preparation. Having successfully transitioned from a top-tier finance role to a prominent position in big tech, I bring firsthand knowledge of navigating significant career pivots. I've guided dozens of clients in their career development, from early career planning to mid-career progression, ensuring they reach their professional goals with confidence and clarity.
