I teach job seekers today’s most-effective steps for finding career clarity, landing more interviews and offers, and navigating career transitions with authenticity, confidence, and joy. I spent my earlier career working at LinkedIn where I developed job seeker training programs for audiences across the globe. I have a deep understanding of the tools and strategies required to succeed in today's job market. I am also intimately familiar with burnout, and the experience of recognizing that the path you are on is not the long-term path for you. I love helping job seekers explore, set, and achieve career goals that are aligned with their own values. Whether you want to build towards that next promotion, transition to a similar role in a new company, or take a turn in a new direction, I'd love to help you get wherever you want to go.
