Sarah’s Career Coaching Qualifications

Experience level: Associate

I started my product management journey through a competitive development program where I was one of the few participants from a non-traditional background, having studied International Affairs before breaking into tech. Since then, I’ve worked across both front-end and back-end teams, led high-impact initiatives, and earned a promotion within my company. My true expertise lies in helping others crack the case, especially those coming from non-technical or unconventional paths. I’ve mastered behavioral and case-style interviews and love coaching others to tell their story with confidence and clarity. Beyond my day-to-day work, I’ve served on leadership councils, represented my company at major conferences, and played an active role in developing early-career talent. Whether you’re preparing for your first product role, navigating a new environment, or trying to translate your non-technical background into a compelling product story, I’m here to help you do it with strategy, confidence, and authenticity.

About Sarah

My journey into product management started from an unconventional background as an International Affairs major with ZERO technical experience. I’ve always been driven by curiosity and a desire to understand how systems work, which naturally evolved into a passion for solving problems in tech. That curiosity first led me to an internship at Google, where I learned how innovation and strategy come together to shape user experiences. From there, I applied that same mindset to break into Product Management in Capital One's Product Development Rotational Program. Since then, I’ve worked across both front-end and back-end teams, led high-impact initiatives, and presented my work to senior leadership. Beyond my day-to-day work, I’ve served on leadership councils, represented my company at major conferences, and played an active role in developing early-career talent.
