Jessica’s Career Coaching Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Vice President
100+ people coached for Career Coaching
I'm a career coach and certified professional résumé writer who works exclusively with lawyers and executives in adjacent areas such as compliance. I draw from a diverse professional background—including as an Am Law 100 litigator and former law school career services professional—to help lawyers identify their goals and reach the next stage in their career. My clients have included in-house counsel at Amazon, Apple, AT&T, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Walmart, and other Fortune 500, public, and private companies; government agencies and judges; Global 100, Am Law 200, and Chambers-ranked law firms; and nonprofit, academic, and public interest organizations. I coach individuals in all phases of their legal careers, from legal executives and in-house counsel to junior attorneys and law students. I offer guidance on job search strategy and advice for professionals seeking traditional legal roles, such as in-house, law firm, and government advisor positions, as well as non-traditional roles. I offer: ➢ Legal résumé writing ➢ Career coaching & strategy ➢ Career transitions ➢ Interview prep ➢ LinkedIn profile optimization and training ➢ Personal branding & business marketing ➢ Copywriting for law firm websites and marketing materials When coaching, I approach each client with the goal of identifying their individual strengths and unique value proposition. I leverage years of career services experience, industry knowledge, and alternative career path to help others navigate their career journey and find success as happy, fulfilled lawyers. I am a magna cum laude graduate of Rutgers University and hold a juris doctor from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. After clerking in the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division, I litigated civil matters as an Am Law 100 firm associate. After leaving legal practice, I served as an Associate Director of Career Services in a New York City-based law school, advising alumni and leading the school’s judicial clerkship program. My background also includes an alternative career in legal tech, which has given me additional insights into practice and marketing in the legal profession.

About Jessica
As a lawyer turned career coach, I work exclusively with lawyers and compliance professionals. My clients include law students and early career, mid-level, and executive lawyers at companies such as Amazon, Apple, AT&T, Google, KPMG, Meta, Microsoft, Verizon, and Walmart, as well as other Fortune 500 companies, government agencies and members of the judiciary, Global 100 and Am Law 200 firms, and nonprofit and academic institutions. I work with law students and lawyers at all phases of their legal careers, helping them navigate job searches with confidence and develop compelling narratives that communicate their strengths and unique value proposition. My services include: ➢ Career coaching and strategy ➢ Career transition planning ➢ Interview preparation ➢ Resume writing ➢ LinkedIn profile optimization and training ➢ Branding and business development marketing
Why do I coach?
Like many lawyers, I started down a traditional career path: a judicial clerkship followed by litigation associate positions at a large regional law firm and an Am Law 100 firm in Manhattan. Unlike many lawyers, I made some significant pivots. I left the practice of law and pursued an alternative career path that included a teaching fellowship, work with legal tech/AI companies, and law school career counseling. As an Associate Director of Career Services, I served as the primary advisor to law school alumni, coaching lawyers across law firms, nonprofits, government, and in-house roles at every stage of their career, guiding them on resume preparation, job search strategy, and professional development. Through that work, I found my niche: coaching lawyers. As a first-generation college graduate, law student, and practicing lawyer, I navigated various career processes and transitions, from OCI and switching law firms to shifting to an alternative career path. I am intrinsically motivated to help others, and find it rewarding to use my background, unique career, and industry knowledge to help fellow lawyers build successful careers that are fulfilling and aligned with their strengths and values.
