About Sara
Nice to meet you! I’m Sara – marketing executive, mission-driven mentor, Philly-dweller and new mom, with a passion for helping people hone their superpowers to chart the career path that best fits their goals. I pursued Marketing as a career path because I love the overlap between human psychology and business decision-making, and the same effective storytelling that helps you sell more products can help you craft your personal brand and narrative as you move through your career. There is no difference between “work” and “life” – there is just life! – so I am motivated to help you find your niche and land the role that matches YOUR definition of success. I am a quintessential ENFJ (for my fellow Myers-Briggs people) and love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and helping them shine. Looking forward to working together!
Why do I coach?
I've mentored, coached, and hired through my roles at American Express and in health tech startups for over a decade, and I'm keenly aware of how essential it is to clearly and authentically tell your story in order to land your dream role in a crowded market. In an AI-dominated world, everyone's stories start to sound generic and similar - which means a strong personal narrative and tailored-to-you application is more important than ever. I've benefited tremendously from the guidance of others throughout my career who helped me hone my "why", and my goal is to continue to pay it forward.
