The games industry can feel like a challenging place to build a career. I’ve been on the inside for 20+ years at Microsoft, shipping franchises like Halo, Forza Motorsport, and Mass Effect. I know what skills can make or break careers and where to focus your efforts to build the career you want for yourself. In this package, we’ll work together to: • Get personalized feedback on your resume and LinkedIn profile to showcase your strengths. • Understand your own strengths and values so you can show up at your best in daily work, interviews, and networking. • Build confidence in your current role so you can get most our of your job. • Communicate more effectively with your peers, hiring managers, and executives so that they know who you are. • Create a career plan that is customized to you, so you know what your goals are, how you're going to achieve them, and what to do next. • Grow yourself as a person so you can move forward through challenges with clarity, confidence, and resilience. By the end, you’ll have a north star for yourself, a strategy you can use to accelerate your career, and renewed confidence in your own abilities as a person.

With over two decades at Microsoft, I led teams behind some of the most successful franchises in gaming, including Halo, Forza Motorsport, and Mass Effect. As an Executive Producer, I hired and managed top talent, navigated complex product launches, and delivered award-winning experiences enjoyed by millions worldwide. I now bring that same leadership and insight to coaching. I know what it takes to succeed in high-pressure environments—and what it feels like to burn out or crave something new. I help professionals gain clarity, build confidence, and take bold steps toward careers and lives they’re excited about.
