As a top mentor with a proven playbook, I’ve helped countless professionals worldwide pivot careers, secure promotions, and rediscover their direction, all backed by 5/5 feedback. I'm committed to providing the tools needed to find that next job and providing ways of accountability. Some of our calls will be focused on, but not limited to: - Career & industry aspirational exploration - Networking playbook - Resume/CV workshopping - Interview preparation - Portfolio feedback - Best practice job search techniques My career trajectory reflects a commitment to continuous growth and challenge. I've navigated multiple career advancements by embracing calculated risks and refusing to settle for anything less than fulfilling roles. A relentless pursuit of learning and development has empowered me to seamlessly transition between roles and industries, consistently excelling in new responsibilities. Recognizing the impact of networking and mentorship, I've leveraged these resources to navigate career milestones and guide others in seeking direction. Beyond personal endeavors, I've extended my mentorship to a diverse range of individuals. From entrepreneurs seeking business expansion to professionals transitioning into marketing or striving for career progression, I've provided tailored guidance and support to help them achieve their goals. I worked with mentees from truly all around the world, my methodologies work no matter what country or how much work experience. Outside work, I prioritize disconnecting from the digital realm to enjoy quality time outdoors with friends and family. I firmly believe in nurturing a healthy work-life balance as a cornerstone of a fulfilling and sustainable lifestyle. Don't hesitate to reach out if you're interested in embarking on a mentorship journey. I'm always open to an introductory call to explore how we can collaborate effectively.

With a robust background spanning consulting, audit, and digital marketing, I bring a unique perspective to career development, especially for those navigating change. Over the past five years, I’ve successfully transitioned across three different industries: from Deloitte Audit to Strategy Consulting, and most recently into Digital Marketing in the luxury sector, where I’m currently interning at Santoni during my MBA at London Business School (MBA2026). As a former Senior Consultant at Deloitte, I led strategic initiatives for Fortune 500 clients, delivering measurable impact, from operational efficiencies to multi-million-dollarcost savings. Now, I’m combining that analytical rigor with creative branding insight, helping luxury brands craft meaningful digital strategies. But the real story? I’ve faced uncertainty, taken risks, and failed forward. Each pivot taught me to rethink, adapt, and never give up. That resilience is at the heart of how I coach. Whether you're: - Breaking into consulting - Transitioning into marketing or luxury - Navigating an MBA journey or a career pivot - Looking to build your personal brand or tell your story with confidence …I’m here to guide you with honest feedback, strategic frameworks, and the kind of empathy that only comes from having walked the path myself. Born in Serbia and raised in Chicago, I bring a bicultural lens and global mindset to everything I do, including coaching. I’m also passionate about personal expression and creative industries, currently exploring the launch of my own fashion label. Let’s connect and build a game plan that works for you with clarity, confidence, and real talk.

If you’re feeling stuck in your career—whether you know your next step or aren’t sure what industry or role fits you best—I’ll help you figure it out. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, clarify your direction, and create a practical plan for making the transition. I’ll also help you build the confidence, interview skills, and self-advocacy tools to land the role that’s right for you and thrive once you’re there. I’ve navigated several major career transitions myself—from social work in the military, to tech sales, to strategic roles at Salesforce, Intuit, and Zoom. I know firsthand how overwhelming and exciting it can feel to step into a new industry, role, or level of responsibility.

Welcome to my profile! I've spent 3 years at McKinsey & Company Greece (2021-2023), interviewed ant almost all major consultancies, and successfully relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark to continue my career in Corporate Strategy. I am very passionate and driven to support others on their journeys and have successfully placed many friends in MBB/ jobs abroad in the past. I can help you with the following categories of goals: 1. Getting into MBB (incl. mock interviews, path assessment, etc.); 2. Thriving inside MBB (what matters and what doesn’t) 3. Building exit plan (incl. connecting you with my vast network) 4. Transferring/ relocating to desired destinations (EU/USA-focused); 5. Stress-testing and sharpening your vision and story to align internally, keep momentum, and exert confidence to interviewers I will also make sure you enjoy the journey because this also matters!

Starting a career can feel stressful and difficult. I help non-target school college students and early professionals find direction, build confidence, and take clear steps toward opportunities that excite them. Whether you’re a college student gearing up for recruiting season, or a recent grad looking to stand out in interviews, I’m here to guide you with clarity and confidence. I graduated from Santa Clara University and understand what it’s like to juggle academics, internships, and career decisions. Along the way, I earned offers from Apple, UBS, Fidelity and Varian, where I now work in finance and have also supported recruiting efforts for new hires. My coaching style is practical, supportive, and authentic. I focus on helping you tell your story effectively, build meaningful connections, and approach interviews with a clear strategy that reflects who you are. Having recently been through the process myself, I offer insights into what top companies look for and how to position yourself for success. If you’re ready to land that next opportunity and start building a career that excites you, I’d love to help you make it happen.

Career transitions are exciting, but they can also feel overwhelming and uncertain. I’ve navigated a few myself—moving from consulting to startups, from corporate to mission-driven work—and I know how challenging it is to reframe your experiences for something new. The good news? The skills and stories you already have are often more transferable than you think. As a coach, I help you get clear on your goals, position your experiences effectively, and build a personal narrative that resonates with hiring managers. Together, we’ll work on the practical side—resumes, LinkedIn profiles, networking strategies, interview prep—while also focusing on the bigger picture: what you want, why it matters, and how to get there. I particularly love working with professionals who feel “stuck” in their current role or unsure about what comes next. My goal is to bring both strategy and encouragement so you walk away with a plan that feels not only achievable, but energizing.
