Having successfully coached five individuals to achieve their career goals, I'm excited to help you unlock your potential.

I have successfully transitioned from academia to industry. I am employed as a successful researcher with a PhD in psychology. Since I have left academia, I have received numerous requests from PhD students and postdocs in psychology who are hoping to leave academia and land an industry research job. I have been able to dedicate my time to help many look into potential career paths, figure out their preferred kind of job, tailor their resumes accordingly, and land interviews. I would love to more systematically help and share my experiences through this platform.

With over a decade of talent acquisition experience, I’ve had the privilege of shaping top-tier engineering teams at high-growth startups and in venture capital. Starting my journey at Coursera during its Series A, I launched their University Recruiting Program. At Quora, I led the early career recruiting team, perfecting my ability to attract and retain top talent. At Human Capital, I partnered with founders from seed to growth stages, building world-class engineering teams for companies like Anduril, Observe, and Kojo. My passion for startup recruiting and proven success drive me to guide individuals in their career development. As the founder of The Journey, a community for future founders, I’m committed to inspiring, and equipping the next generation of entrepreneurs through coaching, and opportunity.

You already have the talent. I help you shape the story, build the strategy, and make your next move count. If you’re navigating a pivot, preparing for promotion, or stepping into leadership, you don’t just need clarity—you need a compelling narrative, a clear strategy, and a coach who can help you position yourself with purpose. As a Director of AI Marketing at SAP, ex-Microsoft leader, and Yale SOM grad, I bring a marketer’s mindset to career growth—grounded in storytelling, strategy, and intentional execution. I help high-performing professionals articulate their value, align their path with their goals, and communicate with confidence—so they can lead, influence, and grow with impact.

As your coach, I offer a unique perspective built upon over 18 years of professional experience and a decade dedicated to empowering others through coaching. My background is rooted in leadership and high-impact operations at companies like Google and YouTube, where I focused on building, scaling, and optimizing high-performing global teams. My qualification comes from a track record of driving results, from managing vast vendor operations in critical functions like Trust & Safety to personally designing and launching a multimillion-dollar sales acquisition program. I specialize in coaching individuals across all stages—from early career professionals to senior leaders—who are serious about achieving their next level of professional success. I guide clients to shift their perspective, moving beyond simply performing their role to strategically managing their career trajectory.

I have worked with mid-level managers up to Directors with career enhancement, work life balance, managing teams, and business growth. As a division President and VP at Panasonic, I have C level experience and know how to successfully manage up/down/sideways. I also enjoy coaching at Rutgers Braven program for undergraduates and graduates--career choices, internships, etc. My strength comes from my management perspective, long international corporate experience including managing expat Directors, and the ability to straddle both mentoring and coaching in an engagement, with an emphasis on coaching.

For the last 5 years, I have been supporting leaders and recent college graduates on how to succeed in an interview, speak and think confidently, and prepare in advance with strategies, people skills, and assertive communication to understand if the role is going to be a good fit for both parties. Many of my clients have been able to get a job or change jobs while working for an organization. Most of my clients work for Fortune 100/500 companies.

When I entered college, I had no clear vision of my career path. I was unsure of where I wanted to go or how I would get there, but I committed myself to hard work and persistence. Over the years, I’ve built a strong foundation in computer science, gained valuable industry experience through internships, and developed a passion for mentoring others on their career journeys. Through internships at top companies like Capital One and leadership roles at startups, I’ve honed skills in software engineering, technical problem-solving, and effective communication. As a Career Peer and Teaching Fellow at CodePath, I’ve mentored aspiring tech professionals, empowering them to navigate the challenging job market with confidence. My story has been featured in the University of Maryland’s CS newsletter and platforms like BoldJourney, where I’ve shared insights on breaking into tech and overcoming obstacles. Now, I’m focused on giving back to the tech community by helping others unlock their potential and achieve their career goals. Whether you’re seeking guidance on crafting a standout resume, preparing for technical interviews, or building a long-term career strategy, I’m here to provide personalized advice and actionable steps to help you succeed. Let’s work together to turn your aspirations into reality.
