As a career development coach, I aid college students and early-career individuals in discovering their unique brilliance and leveraging this novel self-understanding to create careers uniquely suited to them. Throughout my career advising and mentorship experiences at the WashU Career Center, BlackRock’s Analyst Buddy Program, and Jewish Queer Youth (a nonprofit supporting LGBTQ+ Orthodox Jewish young adults), I have helped people: • Gain clarity on what makes them special: how their particular experiences, strengths, and traits shape them into one-of-a-kind individuals • Identify career goals that align with their passions, values, and desired lifestyles • Achieve their career goals by developing a unique personal brand and conveying this brand via application materials, professional communications, and interviews Getting accepted to BlackRock’s Analyst Program and then evaluating candidates for this program has given me firsthand insight into what’s required to stand out in competitive application processes and land amazing first roles. Moreover, my pivot from the financial industry into a clinical psychology doctoral program has equipped me to help clients navigate and execute fulfilling career changes. I have helped clients gain acceptance to selective internships, jobs, fellowships, and graduate schools, and have facilitated career transitions into Tech, consulting, and the nonprofit sector.

As a Staff Data Scientist at LinkedIn, I have led key GenAI initiatives and successfully launched multiple high-impact products. My role also involved serving on both the new hire training and interview committees, giving me extensive experience in identifying what makes candidates stand out during interviews. Over the past few years, I have successfully secured offers from top tech companies and have helped early-career candidates navigate their career paths to land roles at leading tech firms. Whether you're looking to break into data science or advance your career, I am here to provide tailored guidance and actionable insights. Reach out to start your journey to success!

Having developed a multi-industry, multi-continent career, I have personal experience in myself and coaching others in navigating unique and non-traditional career paths and pivots.

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.

The Arbuckle Leadership Fellows program at Stanford's Graduate School of Business provided me with the hands-on training to be a strong Personal Leadership Coach. Similar in function to an executive coach but with a greater emphasis on emotions and motivations, a Personal Leadership Coach can help anyone unlock greater clarity around consequential decisions. By taking an exercise focused approach, PLC sessions leave clients with greater personal insights and action plans for the concrete challenges ahead.

I've been a CEO for 15+ years and one of the top jobs of a CEO is to grow employees, advance their career, not just in your company but prepare them for after. I have helped advanced the careers of hundreds of employees, all of which have stayed and colleagues, friends and mentees. Perhaps this one small principle will make you see that I am different than most other people. In all of my companies I've had a rule where there can't be any job that doesn't have a path to grow. How about my executive assistant then? In most companies EA's stay in one job forever. All EA I've had, had a career path from EA to customer support, to account management to sales. I've grown so many administrative assistants to be sales people, and they are eternally grateful. Even the simplest job has to have a growth path otherwise employees are unhappy. I have never seen an employee leave working for me that I didn't want to see leave. It's these small but important principles that make it happen.

Welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience in career development and recruitment, I have a proven track record of helping individuals achieve their professional goals. As the former Head of Careers at the University of Oxford's Said Business School, I coached students across various sectors, providing tailored career transition strategies and interview skills training. My experience at Amazon as Head of MBA Recruiting for Europe and a Senior Marketing Manager has equipped me with deep insights into the recruitment process, having conducted over 1,000 interviews. Whether you're looking to refine your interview skills or navigate a career transition, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

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.

With over a decade at Deloitte Consulting and a dual leadership role at USC Marshall as both Adjunct Professor of Strategic Innovation and Head of Consulting Partnerships, I bring a rare blend of real-world consulting rigor and insider academic perspective to my coaching. I’ve mentored and coached MBA students and professionals who have successfully landed roles at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Deloitte, EY, and PwC, helping them sharpen structured thinking, elevate executive presence, and master case and behavioral interviews with confidence. My coaching goes beyond frameworks — I teach you how to think like a partner, communicate with clarity, and differentiate yourself in highly competitive processes. Whether you’re breaking into consulting, leveling up within your firm, or pivoting industries, I provide practical, high-impact guidance grounded in experience, results, and a deep understanding of what top firms actually look for.
