Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
My coaching style is collaborative, curious, and strategic. I create a space where ideas can be explored openly while providing honest, practical feedback grounded in real industry experience. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, I help you evaluate options, understand trade-offs, and make intentional decisions that align with your goals. I believe learning should be enjoyable, so I bring creativity and a sense of humor to every session.
Coaching sessions are customized to each client rather than following a fixed curriculum. This allows us to focus on the topics that will have the greatest impact on your goals. Sessions are conversational, strategic, and action-oriented, and recordings and transcripts are available through the Leland platform. While I'll provide recommendations, resources, and actionable next steps during our sessions, ongoing work and implementation between sessions are the client's responsibility.

Career Coaching for Entertainment & Advertising Wardrobe Professionals
I bring nearly 20 years of experience working in television, streaming, advertising, and branded content, with a specialty in wardrobe styling and costume design. I have collaborated across creative and production departments, including art direction, specialty props, directing, and producing, which gives me a broad understanding of how projects operate and how talent and crew work together on set. My credits include projects for more than 70 brands and networks, including Netflix, Disney, NBC, Nickelodeon, Google, and Mercedes-Benz. I was also accepted into the Costume Designers Guild, IATSE Local 892. As a university instructor, mentor, image consultant, and longtime industry professional, I combine practical career guidance with an experienced visual perspective. I support two types of clients. For emerging stylists, costume professionals, and other crew members, I provide guidance on building experience, developing a portfolio, finding freelance opportunities, earning referrals, networking, navigating on-set etiquette, and positioning a broad creative skill set. For actors, performers, and other on-camera talent, I offer support with audition presentation, headshots, wardrobe choices, character development, visual storytelling, and understanding how appearance communicates on camera.
