Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

Welcome to my profile! I work with clients across sectors to see the big picture and create a vision for their life and work that embodies their core values and roots them in their strengths. By aligning around their own personal north star, my clients are able to bring clarity and confidence into their lives, unlocking potential to achieve goals both big and small. I'm here to support you in your journey. Let's connect and explore how I can help you realize your career aspirations!

My mantra is to be helpful. If I'm not helpful, I'll get out of your way. So much about career satisfaction has to do with fit. Find a place that values you for the things you're uniquely good at and being at work can feel fun, exciting, and also rewarding. I attended Harvard for undergrad and Stanford for my masters. I've worked at 10 person start-ups to 100,000 person companies like Google. I've been an individual contributor and also managed teams of 20+; throughout these experiences, I've learned some of the best questions to ask myself (and others) that can help identify and then successfully get into roles with the best fit.

I've worked with 1,500+ entrepreneurial people figuring out their next career chapters. The first 1,000 of those were through the On Deck First 50 fellowship program I built, and another 500 have joined my NEXT Careers community for tenured startup-focused job-seekers. I work with people through every stage of their job search or figure-it-out journey, but have specific expertise around negotiation (more than 250 candidates who I've worked with on a 1:1 basis), job search strategy, networking and outreach strategy, and storytelling. Apart from directly supporting entrepreneurial job-seekers, I was also Head of Talent at a VC, worked at and built startups, and originally spent over a decade at Goldman Sachs.
