Career Coaching

I've navigated the early-career job search firsthand. Out of Vanderbilt, I joined AlphaSights, where I grew from Summer Associate to Client Services, Service Excellence Manager, and Capital Markets roles. I'm now getting my MBA at Stanford GSB as a Forte Fellow, and along the way I've led ecommerce at a startup and spent a summer consulting at BCG. I've recruited for consulting, finance, and startups, and learned what it takes to figure out which roles actually fit you. I help college students and recent grads cut through the noise: identifying the jobs that make sense for them, building a smart target list, and preparing for interviews with mock sessions and honest feedback. Whether you're landing your first role or making an early pivot, I'll help you tell your story with confidence. I also help with MBA applications, having been admitted to Stanford GSB, Wharton, Columbia, and Kellogg.

Ever find yourself stuck in a career that's clearly not right for you? That was me 15 years ago, but let me take you even further back. In 2007 I graduated from Duke with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I knew I didn't want to do engineering, so I made my first hard pivot - I landed a job at JPMorgan as an investment banker. 4 years later with a stop in venture banking, I knew it wasn't for me. I knew I wanted to change into something with a faster pace that would allow me to flex my creativity, but didn't know how to convince anyone to hire me without any direct experience. Now with nearly 13 years of marketing experience under my belt, I can say with enthusiasm that I was able to pivot into a career that's right for me. Knowing from first hand experience how soul crushing the wrong job can be, I'm personally invested in helping people get out and onto the right path for themselves.

I know firsthand what it’s like to navigate major transitions - both chosen and unexpected. Over the years, I’ve moved from consulting into big tech, shifted from sales operations to product operations, and eventually into product management and co-founding my own company. I’ve also experienced the challenges of burnout, uncertainty, and identity shifts that come with leaving behind one version of yourself to step into another. Having worked in both the USA and Brazil, and studied in France and Singapore, I bring a global perspective that helps me connect with clients from diverse backgrounds who are navigating their own turning points. What I’ve learned is that career and life transitions aren’t just about skills or strategy - they’re about aligning with what truly matters to you. Whether you’re moving from corporate to startup, shifting industries, or rethinking your path entirely, I can help you explore the deeper patterns and beliefs driving your choices, while also mapping out concrete steps forward. My own journey across countries, industries, and roles taught me how to navigate ambiguity with clarity and resilience - and I now bring that same support to clients ready to create meaningful change in their own lives.

3 years coaching seekers for "more in life" to embark on a self-discovery journey to transform their careers into a vocation of choice. I empower my clients to become aware of and overcome self-limiting narratives to create a meaningful career path that serves their purpose. My clients tend to be people who aim to build a career that fulfils them and creates space for other meaningful things in life (family, hobbies, friends, service, etc.). Whether you are exploring new options, heads-down recruiting, or seeking to set the right boundaries and foundation to thrive in your current role, let's connect and see how we can work together!

Having developed a multi-industry, multi-continent career, I have personal experience in myself and coaching others in navigating unique and non-traditional career paths and pivots.

As someone who has reimagined my own career several times, I would love to guide you on your journey! I am an ICF certified coach with over two decades of experience in talent development and career coaching. I started my career in engineering and product roles, but have spent most of my 20+ years working in talent development at large multinational companies. Today, as a Coach and Co-Founder of Together We, I help people at transition points feel less alone and more confident. One of the transition points I specialize in is career changes. What we do as a career has a big impact on our lives - we spend a lot of our time at work and your chosen career has the potential to bring you meaning and fulfillment. However, feeling like you’re in the wrong career or not knowing what the next step is can be stressful and making changes can often feel like too big a hurdle. I work with a broad range of clients - some who want to advance in a particular field and others wanting to make a more drastic career change. I also love working with clients who have taken a step back from their careers (perhaps after becoming a parent or another life circumstance), and are now ready to make that next move. I am committed to providing you with practical tools and techniques to increase feelings of empowerment and ownership around your career development. Topics I typically cover with clients include: identifying and working with personal values, understanding strengths and how to best leverage them, networking (even for those who hate the idea of networking!), and dealing with imposter syndrome to name a few. Work with me to gain clarity and to build confidence in the next steps in your career!

You already have the talent. I help you shape the story, build the strategy, and make your next move count. If you’re navigating a pivot, preparing for promotion, or stepping into leadership, you don’t just need clarity—you need a compelling narrative, a clear strategy, and a coach who can help you position yourself with purpose. As a Director of AI Marketing at SAP, ex-Microsoft leader, and Yale SOM grad, I bring a marketer’s mindset to career growth—grounded in storytelling, strategy, and intentional execution. I help high-performing professionals articulate their value, align their path with their goals, and communicate with confidence—so they can lead, influence, and grow with impact.

I’m a career strategist and coach with over 20 years of international, cross-industry business experience, but at my core, I’m most passionate about helping people find clarity, confidence, and purpose in their careers. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching professionals at UCLA Anderson’s Executive MBA Program, USC Marshall’s IBEAR MBA Program, and through my own practice, CareerQwest. Each client’s journey has taught me something new about resilience, ambition, and the power of intentional career choices. My own background spans consulting, corporate strategy, technology, and entrepreneurship across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. This variety allows me to understand and relate to clients from many different industries, functions, and stages of life. I combine that perspective with evidence-based coaching and a practical, results-focused approach to ensure our work together is both supportive and impactful. I see coaching as a partnership. Together, we’ll define what success looks like for you, set clear goals, and work step by step toward roles and opportunities that align with your vision for the future. My role is to challenge, guide, and encourage you, and to make sure you never feel like you’re navigating the journey alone. My coaching process is structured yet highly personalized, guiding you through every stage of career advancement... from defining your goals, to landing interviews, to negotiating the offer that truly reflects your value.
