Hello, and welcome to my profile! With over 15 years of experience in talent acquisition, I've had the privilege of leading teams at companies like LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Block. As a result, I've successfully coached numerous individuals to advance their careers by crafting effective career development strategies. My coaching superpowers span competency and leadership development, guiding career pivots, resume writing, and interview prep. I've also helped dozens of individual contributors land their first manager roles and successfully supported early career managers in confidently navigating their first years in leadership. In addition to my professional experience, I have a Career Counseling Service Provider certification from the NCDA and am working towards receiving an ACC ICF coaching certification by spring. I'm excited to help you achieve your goals. Let's connect and craft a personalized strategy for your career success!
