About Me

I am obsessed with helping people find happiness and purpose in their careers, because I know how miserable it can feel without it. I’ve been there.

My core beliefs:

  1. Everyone has experience and skills the world desperately needs...and tons of resources at their fingertips.​

  2. There is no singular right path, nor permanent situations.​

  3. Career journeys will be curvy, iterative, and messy...and that's part of people's value and most of the fun.​

  4. The key to success is learning to recognize and appreciate one's real value and be able to connect it to what others really want and need.​

  5. Everyone will hit resistance during their career journey, and that's good.  It's the key to growth, insight, and all good stories. ​

Now, for my credentials. Why should you work with me?

  • Certifications and Training: I am an ICF-accredited Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Certified Career Consultant (LHH), Certified Academic Life Coach (CTEDU), Certified Professional Resume Writer (PARWC), Certified Myers-Briggs Consultant, and hold a Masters Degree in Adult Learning & Human Resource Development. What can I say? I like school.

  • Extent and Range of Coaching Experience: Many “career coaches” are actually just branding specialists - they help you with your resume, LinkedIn, and interviewing, then send you on your way. My background goes much deeper, as I have not only helped people FIND jobs as a Career Transition Coach, but I worked for years helping thousands of clients in a Fortune-500 company SUCCEED in their careers. I have coached clients ranging from senior executives to high school students; software engineers to aspiring artists. I draw on my own wide range of professional experience that includes teaching, consulting, college advising, writing, classical singing, voiceover acting, and tree farming. Yes, tree farming.

  • Customized, Self-Paced Offerings: I start with where you are, focusing on what you most need NOW. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all coaching packages and 10 step plans. You’re more unique than that, and some of you will want and need more individualized support than others. My coaching packages range from self-paced virtual programs to “white glove” packages where I’m with you every step of the way. And a few options in between.

  • Immediate Results: After a single complimentary phone call, you will feel more hopeful and less overwhelmed. After the first email or coaching session, you’ll have your first steps to success. While all my clients’ backgrounds and situations are different, they have one thing in common: they want to start feeling better about their lives and careers starting RIGHT NOW. So that’s where I start. Guaranteed.
