Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

15+ year veteran in advertising industry who has personally managed change and advised clients/mentees on best practices when navigating career changes while providing clear guidance to make significant career decisions.

For over a decade, I've built digital products, concierge services, and AI tooling for job seekers and recruiters in tech -- providing them tech-enabled services and coaching through job search moments and ongoing career + executive progression. I'm now the founder and CEO of Free Agency, supporting talent through job search -- clients have achieved over $400M in job offers since 2019. I've coached startup founders, directors at startups and big tech, early career individuals who now work at OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Notion, Spotify, YouTube, EA, Roblox, to name just a few, as well as hundreds at early stage, venture-backed startups. You name the company and the context, I can help.

I’ve spent more than two decades on the other side of the table—building and leading recruiting functions for high‑growth companies, from early‑stage startups to global enterprises—so I know how hiring decisions actually get made. I’ve designed interview processes, partnered closely with founders and executives, and helped thousands of candidates navigate complex searches across fintech, AI, and emerging tech, which means I can translate “what companies want” into a clear, practical plan for you. As a founder and operator myself, I coach with an operator’s mindset: we set a target role, build a narrative and portfolio that match it, and then execute with structured outreach, better interviewing, and smart negotiation. Whether you’re breaking into tech, pivoting into AI, or moving up into leadership, I focus on concrete deliverables—sharper positioning, a stronger story, and a repeatable job‑search system—so you leave each session knowing exactly what to do next.

I've never applied to a single job I've had -- every single one came through proactive networking on LinkedIn. While at LinkedIn, I gave 12 live coaching presentation events in NYC to hundreds of students and job seekers from around the world. Prior to LinkedIn, I gave similar presentations to different student groups at different universities in Utah.

Ever find yourself stuck in a career that's clearly not right for you? That was me 15 years ago, but let me take you even further back. In 2007 I graduated from Duke with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I knew I didn't want to do engineering, so I made my first hard pivot - I landed a job at JPMorgan as an investment banker. 4 years later with a stop in venture banking, I knew it wasn't for me. I knew I wanted to change into something with a faster pace that would allow me to flex my creativity, but didn't know how to convince anyone to hire me without any direct experience. Now with nearly 13 years of marketing experience under my belt, I can say with enthusiasm that I was able to pivot into a career that's right for me. Knowing from first hand experience how soul crushing the wrong job can be, I'm personally invested in helping people get out and onto the right path for themselves.

I have an MBA from Columbia Business School and a diverse career spanning top companies like The Walt Disney Company, Samsung Electronics, Nordstrom, and Accenture. I bring a wealth of experience in global strategy and development. Over the years, I've helped numerous professionals navigate their career paths, leveraging my insights the different companies I've been at. Whether you're looking to break into a new industry or climb the corporate ladder, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and actionable strategies. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

I've reinvented my career more than once, and I'm here to help you do the same. I've gone from liberal arts background --> big tech --> nonprofits --> MBA --> management consulting --> influencer marketing --> VC-backed AI startup. Each pivot came with its own uncertainty, self-doubt, and steep learning curve. And each one taught me something I now bring to my coaching. Over the years, I've noticed a pattern: ambitious people who know something needs to change but feel too scattered, anxious, or overwhelmed to act. They have clarity but no capacity. Or capacity but no clarity. As a certified life coach, yoga and meditation teacher, and energy healing practitioner — with a Dartmouth MBA and over a decade in high-pressure environments — I bring together career clarity work with nervous system regulation and contemplative practice. It's a combination I haven't seen anywhere else, and it's the one I wish I'd had during my own pivots. I work with operators, founders, consultants, and ambitious professionals who are: • Navigating career transitions or pivots • Feeling misaligned or stuck • Ready to take on their next big professional challenge • Committed to building sustainable success over chasing impressive titles If you're trying to break into AI, make the leap from consulting to tech, or simply figure out what's next, I'd love to help you get there with both the strategy and the inner steadiness to pull it off.

Through-out my career, I have heavily invested in coaching and sought opportunities to help others develop in their careers. I have specific expertise in Retail / CPG / Ecommerce, Top-Tier MBB Management Consulting, MBA applications, and Strategy & Operations. I am passionate about helping others achieve their career and personal goals, whether it be through career advancement, work-life balance, coaching & development, etc. I am especially invested in helping women succeed in their careers - and helping working moms navigate pre- and post-baby.
