About Elliot
My career path looks scattered on paper, but its diversity is my greatest strength. I am a lifelong learner who thrives on new challenges. From an English major at UCSB to finance, consulting, and tech, every pivot forced me to teach myself new skills, network strategically, and master unfamiliar industries. Because I have successfully navigated these transitions myself, I know how hard it is to position yourself for a stretch role. Now, as a coach, I help professionals tell their stories with confidence. Whether you are making your first career move or your fifth, the formula is the same: with the right preparation and mindset, you can transition into any field.
Why do I coach?
Coaching changed my career. It was the catalyst that helped me build foundational skills, navigate major pivots, and master the MBA application process. Because I know how profound that impact is, I now coach others to unlock their own capabilities and transition with confidence. With the right support, reflection, and strategic action, you can bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. I am here to serve as that guide.
