Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

With years of experience career coaching individuals at the nation's top public university, I specialize in helping clients achieve their dream jobs through comprehensive resume reviews, salary negotiation strategies, and interview preparation. Having successfully transitioned from a top-tier finance role to a prominent position in big tech, I bring firsthand knowledge of navigating significant career pivots. I've guided dozens of clients in their career development, from early career planning to mid-career progression, ensuring they reach their professional goals with confidence and clarity.

As a Dartmouth-trained engineer and Wesleyan scholar, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and academic excellence to career development coaching. My experience as a mentor in various programs and as a Course Assistant at Wesleyan University has honed my ability to guide others in their professional journeys. I have a strong commitment to education and community service, demonstrated by founding a tutoring program and working as a tutor in CS, Mathematics, and Economics. Currently, I serve as an Advisor at Crimson Education, where I leverage my diverse background to help clients break into the tech industry. Let's work together to navigate your career path and achieve your goals!

I've lived the generalist journey firsthand across three startups, wearing high-level hats in design, product management/Head of Product, and executive operations as Chief of Staff. These experiences give immense visibility into the structure of startups and how to navigate your career within one. Prior to this, I did my masters at Stanford's d.school where I did coursework in design, business, and entrepreneurship. The most impactful experience was taking Lean Launchpad with Steve Blank - I lean on these lessons to this day and I'm excited to share them with you! I can help you with the following: - Identifying the type of startup you'd like to work at - What signals to look for to identify top performing, high-growth startups - The mindset shift when moving from big tech to startups - How to position your contributions for success in a smaller scale environment - Using AI tools as a force-multiplier

Starting a career can feel stressful and difficult. I help non-target school college students and early professionals find direction, build confidence, and take clear steps toward opportunities that excite them. Whether you’re a college student gearing up for recruiting season, or a recent grad looking to stand out in interviews, I’m here to guide you with clarity and confidence. I graduated from Santa Clara University and understand what it’s like to juggle academics, internships, and career decisions. Along the way, I earned offers from Apple, UBS, Fidelity and Varian, where I now work in finance and have also supported recruiting efforts for new hires. My coaching style is practical, supportive, and authentic. I focus on helping you tell your story effectively, build meaningful connections, and approach interviews with a clear strategy that reflects who you are. Having recently been through the process myself, I offer insights into what top companies look for and how to position yourself for success. If you’re ready to land that next opportunity and start building a career that excites you, I’d love to help you make it happen.

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.
