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 spent 8 years trying to figure out how to climb the corporate ladder and "manage up"; early on in my career, I was unsuccessful. It wasn't until I started establishing relationships with a few helpful mentors, studying for my MBA, and when I volunteered as a Career mentor for undergrad students did I learn from mistakes and start to better understand what was needed to build a successful career.
