Career Coaching

Welcome to my profile! With a rich background in product marketing and management consulting at top firms like Adobe, VMware, and Accenture, I bring a wealth of experience to my career coaching practice. My journey has been defined by transformative pivots, from engineering to consulting, and from B2B tech to founding my creative arts platform. This diverse experience allows me to help clients identify and leverage their transferable skills to achieve their career goals. As the author of "The Prize and Price of Getting Uncomfortable," I emphasize clarity, action, and belief in my coaching approach. I've successfully guided 8 individuals to find their "why" and land their dream roles. Let's connect and chart a path to your career success together!

You can be successful at work and still feel like something's missing. Most people are. They climb the ladder, hit the salary targets, get the title. Then they ask themselves: is this it? The problem isn't your career. It's that nobody taught you how to design your life intentionally. I spent about a decade in management consulting and tech in San Francisco building a great career. Then a health scare stopped me cold. It forced me to ask what actually mattered. That's when I took a 12-month sabbatical, traveled to 30+ countries, became a yoga teacher, and figured out what matters. That journey changed everything. Now I help ambitious professionals do the same without waiting until they're burned out. Here's what I help with: getting clear on what you actually want (not what you think you should want), designing your career and life around that clarity, and if a sabbatical is part of it, planning one that actually transforms you instead of just being a vacation. I help you build the life that fits who you are, not who you thought you'd be. You've already proven you can succeed. Now let's design a life you're proud of. Let's talk about what that looks like for you. Book a call.

My path started as a buyer at Bergdorf Goodman, then market intelligence and digital strategy at LVMH across 75+ Maisons. Today I interview and advise executives at Chanel, Louis Vuitton and PUIG for Beyond Luxury Group, and teach strategic merchandising to master’s students at Istituto Marangoni Paris. I am also close enough to the start of a luxury career to remember exactly how it goes. I made my own move into the Paris market recently, rebuilding from zero in an industry that runs on relationships and insider knowledge most people do not have access to, so I know what the applications, the silence and the interviews are actually like in this market, right now. That combination is the point. I read your materials the way the people hiring you read them, because I sit on that side of the table, and I coach on the parts of a luxury career that are hardest to work out alone: how to position your experience the way luxury hiring managers actually read it, how to build the network that gets you in the room, and how to navigate an industry that does not publish its own rules. I work with students and recent graduates trying to get in, professionals pivoting from adjacent industries, people moving between the US and European markets, and applicants to fashion business master’s programs.

Looking back at my career and the careers of those that I admire, one throughput has been clear - it's not just WHAT you know, but WHO you know that can move you and your career forward in life. Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, there are many ways one can build the skill of networking today to set up their careers for tomorrow. By working with me as your coach, we can talk through your career goals, how networking can help advance them, and build a strategy and plan for which to execute.

I’ve had an nontraditional career path to get to where I am today (government > consulting > big tech), and I want to help others do the same. I coach under my friend’s career consulting company, and I personally make sure I interview on a regular basis to help my clients the best way that I can. Some of my highlights below: ** I’ve helped 570+ people in the past 4 years, from college students to Fortune 500 directors ** In the past 5 years, I’ve had 654 interviews, with 91 final rounds & 23 offers across hundreds of companies ** I’ve pivoted my career, bounced back after taking time off, and maintained steady employment in a terrible job market I can tailor my client's needs into a personalized prep strategy based on their needs, experience, and goals. Don't hesitate to reach out for an exploratory conversation!

With 15+ years in tech and leadership roles at companies like Microsoft and AT&T, I’ve helped dozens of professionals land roles, change careers, and find clarity in uncertain moments. I specialize in helping people tell their story with confidence, prepare for interviews, organize their resumes, and reconnect with their self-worth during transitions. Whether you're entering the corporate world or making a big leap, I’m here to be your advocate, sounding board, and strategist.

While in business school, I worked in MBA admissions and saw firsthand how powerful great storytelling can be. That experience sparked what’s become a passion: helping people land life-changing roles in tech. Since then, I’ve coached over 100 job seekers—many from nontraditional paths—into roles at companies like Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and high-growth startups. I support across the full journey: refining resumes, sharpening stories, prepping interviews, and navigating offers and negotiations with confidence. As a hiring manager myself, I’ve conducted 100+ interviews for roles ranging from MBA interns to full-time product managers. I know what top tech companies are really looking for, and I bring that inside perspective to every coaching session. Whether you’re breaking into tech for the first time, pivoting into product marketing, or leveling up, I offer no-fluff, practical guidance to help you stand out and land the job.

I’ve helped students and recent grads land roles across a wide range of industries — from big tech and consulting to finance, startups, and research. My clients have received offers from top employers like Amazon, Capital One, KPMG, PwC, AIG, and early-stage startups. Whether you're targeting internships, full-time roles, or pivoting careers, I bring a personalized approach rooted in strategic positioning and practical prep. As someone who’s been through competitive recruiting processes myself — and coached others through hundreds of resume reviews, coffee chats, and interview rounds — I know what it takes to stand out. My goal is to help you tell your story with confidence, navigate uncertainty, and land the job that's right for you.

I have applied to and been offered 5 jobs post graduate at "green jobs". I networked, applied, interviewed, and gotten these jobs using skills I picked up, AI, and the help of other mentors. I also got into Columbia graduate school and got 3 internships by myself. I consider myself very qualified to help with applying for early career jobs, nailing interviews, and making the best resume. I also have great advice on how to find jobs, tips for getting interviews, and how to network. I helped mentor interns and my current employee I manage. Lastly, I have a great network in the sustainability world and startup industry, especially in New York City.
