About me

My career started in recruiting, where I spent 15 years on the other side of the desk reviewing thousands of resumes and conducting hundreds of interviews for companies like Salesforce and a major healthcare system. I got to see what separated the candidates who moved forward from the ones who vanished into the ATS void. That experience gave me an almost unfair advantage in coaching people through job searches.

My career started in recruiting, where I spent 15 years on the other side of the desk reviewing thousands of resumes and conducting hundreds of interviews for companies like Salesforce and a major healthcare system. I got to see what separated the candidates who moved forward from the ones who vanished into the ATS void. That experience gave me an almost unfair advantage in coaching people through job searches. I became a certified career coach through the Career Thought Leaders consortium and never looked back. What I love most is demystifying the hiring process—most people have no idea how random it often is, and once they understand the actual rules, the anxiety dissolves. I'm based in Portland, Oregon, and work with clients nationwide. I'm a recovering perfectionist who knits too much and drinks too much coffee, which makes me very relatable to other driven professionals. Show less

I work with mid-career professionals, career changers, and executives making board-level transitions. One client went from 40 rejections in three months to three... Show more

I help you stop applying blindly and start applying strategically. We'll audit your resume so it speaks to actual humans (not keyword spinners), prep you for interviews until you feel genuinely confident instead of rehearsed, and identify the hidden job market opportunities you're missing. I work with mid-career professionals, career changers, and executives making board-level transitions. One client went from 40 rejections in three months to three offers in six weeks after we rebuilt her entire approach. Another, a software engineer who dreaded behavioral interviews, landed a Principal Engineer role after we practiced his stories until they told themselves. You'll learn to talk about yourself without cringing, negotiate offers without anxiety, and know exactly which opportunities are worth your time. Weekly sessions typically run 8-12 weeks for a complete job search overhaul. Show less
