As the former manager of the inStruct Program at LinkedIn and with 12 years of career coaching experience, I've seen what actually works from both sides of the hiring equation.

When you understand what recruiters are actually looking for, everything changes. Whether you're pivoting careers or breaking into tech, I'll help you craft narratives that make decision-makers stop scrolling.

My career doesn't follow a straight line — and that's exactly why I'm qualified to coach this category. I started with a political science degree and a plan to go to law school. That plan fell apart. What followed was a decade of deliberate, sometimes uncomfortable pivots — from Deloitte in Toronto to Accenture in London to Google DeepMind in the Bay Area — each one requiring me to position myself for a role I hadn't done before, in a city I hadn't lived in, for organizations that weren't obviously looking for someone like me. I didn't have a roadmap. I had coaches, mentors, and a willingness to do the work of figuring out how to tell my story in a way that opened doors. I still have a coach today. Not because I've arrived — I'm currently founding an AI startup and completing a Masters at NYU simultaneously — but because I know firsthand what the right guidance at the right moment is worth. It's the difference between spinning in place for another year and making the move that changes everything. That's what I bring to career coaching: not generic advice, not a framework pulled from a book, but pattern recognition from someone who has made the non-linear career work at the highest levels — and who can take your specific situation, your specific background, and help you build a path forward that's actually yours.
