Vice President, Recruiting

I help jobseekers rediscover their value...and land roles they actually want.

For 20+ years, I’ve been on the other side of the hiring table: recruiting, interviewing, and working directly with hiring managers. I know what gets noticed, what gets ignored, and how decisions are really made. That’s what makes me different: I don’t guess what recruiters want; I *am* a recruiter, and I’ve gotten people hired in every kind of market...including this one.

Whether you’re struggling to get interviews, making a pivot, or trying to bounce back after a layoff, I’ll give you straightforward strategy and tools that actually work: resumes that highlight your impact, LinkedIn profiles that get found, and job search strategies that cut through the noise.

More about me:

I’ve built my reputation as a nationally recognized voice on hiring and workplace trends by doing things differently. My process is simple: real support, real communication, and a strategy that respects your time and your goals.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start showing up as the best version of yourself, on paper, online, and in interviews, I can help.

Leap Career Coaching

There truly is no "help" for job-seekers. Recruiters work for companies, not candidates. And many Career Coaches have never hired the jobs that you want. 
I created Leap Career Consulting to bring my decade+ of knowledge of the hiring process, networking, branding, resume writing, and share gems of experience with people who are ready to take their career to a new level.
