The Art of Crafting Application Materials
Most of us have had that one class in high school that taught us how to write a resume, or that one family member who claims to know the tips and tricks to writing a cover letter. If you are looking to learn how to craft well-polished, strong materials from an expert, look no further! Having robust application materials is critical for a job search, college application, scholarship application--or just handy knowledge for when you find yourself ready for the next chapter of your journey. This package focuses on... - Application writing: Learn how to craft strong materials by developing a resume and cover letter that demonstrates your skills and qualifications -
What's included
This package is dependent on your knowledge level and goals. Whether you have never had your resume reviewed, are looking to start from scratch, or have received professional assistance before, we will build a plan that fits your needs and vision. Additionally, I am willing to conduct asynchronous coaching by reviewing application materials you have drafted from our time together, to then review them in live sessions. I find that a mix of live and asynchronous coaching can keep the momentum going! However, I am open to exclusively conducting live sessions if that is what you prefer.
- A polished resume that demonstrates your skills and qualifications
- A personalized cover letter template you can tailor to your needs
- Feel confident in crafting an application that highlights your professional story

Career Coach | Strategic Guidance | Pro Resume & Interview Prep
I always thought I would be a teacher. I loved education as a child, and as I grew into adolescence, I continued to love learning. Unfortunate high school experiences and the country's investment in STEM careers skewed my career aspirations from education to forensic science. College was a must, and so, I pursued higher education at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. My first semester I started to suspect that I was not meant for the one STEM career I was remotely interested in. In using the resources at IUPUI, I was able to discover that my suspicions were correct: I could not be a forensic scientist. Through my on-campus job at the Office of Student Employment and the guidance of incredible professionals, I saw who I wanted to be. I have always enjoyed helping people with their job search. Everything from navigating job boards like Handshake to writing a killer resume or preparing a succinct interview answer. I have pursued countless experiences and completed two degrees in my pursuit to be an educator, where my destiny lies. I am passionate about helping others succeed through guided coaching, including realistic goal setting, positive perspectives, and personalized strategies. On a more personal note, I am a first-generation college graduate, for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I am from a low-income background. I understand what it's like to struggle with navigating a new field or feeling isolated in your experience. This is why I center a growth mindset in my life and work! On a cuter note, I am a cat mom to three fur babies: Anna (12), Cara (2), and Lois (2). I am an avid music listener and a faithful re-watcher of early 2000s CW shows.
