Founder and CEO

Job burn-out. Toxic workplace. Career dissatisfaction. During my assorted careers in hospitality management, sales, and human resources, I’ve been through all of the above. I somehow navigated through each challenge on my own, but it certainly wasn’t easy. After my last transition, I considered hiring a career coach. The more I learned about the services they provide, the more I realized I had the skills, knowledge, and expertise to actually BECOME a career coach. 

Just as I reached this conclusion, an acquaintance approached me with the opportunity to join the Career Development staff at a local college. Talk about serendipity!

After conquering my own career challenges and with my experience from both sides of the hiring desk, I am uniquely qualified to assist you on YOUR career journey. Nothing makes me happier or more fulfilled than seeing others grow, realize their potential and identify their purpose.

Let me help you...

Director

Resident Assistant

Have you ever felt the "low" at work realizing that you do not enjoy your job, feel unappreciated, and don't know how to move forward? According to recent U.S. surveys, 60% of people are emotionally detached from their job and 19% feel miserable doing the work they do. 

With my work, I help people get out of that rut and find careers that bring them joy, allow them to be fully appreciated, and utilize their unique skill sets. I have a gift for making people feel extravagantly confident in themselves and find clarity in their careers.

As a professional career counselor, I have worked with a variety of clients in different industries. However, I specialize in working with mid-level career professionals that want to make a career transition and don’t know where to start – and that usually comes with a feeling of lower self-confidence. 

I empower my clients to create a clear vision for their career and equip them with the skills and tools needed to achieve that vision, because I wholeheartedly believe it is possible to be happy in your job. I’ve been involved in career counseling for the past 7 years, and have a background in higher education, non-profits, and think tanks. 

In addition, I help organizations by providing custom trainings, curriculum design consulting, and 1:1 coaching! This includes professional branding, LinkedIn optimization, employee performance plans, professionalism in the workplace, and more. As a professional training expert and public speaker, I can create dazzling and engaging presentations for companies in both virtual and in-person capacities. 

Think I can be helpful to you or your organization? Let's connect!
