Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I help professionals in tech navigate career transitions and build fulfilling careers without exhausting themselves trying to prove they deserve to be there. With 20+ years across product management, executive coaching, and tech leadership (including Google and VP roles), I help you clarify your next move, build authentic leadership presence, and develop the confidence to navigate your career from a place of self-trust; not constant proving. Whether you're exploring a career change, stepping into a new role, or breaking through to leadership, I help you move past the internal barriers that keep you stuck and build a career that aligns with your values and aspirations.

I'm a dedicated career development coach with a diverse background spanning finance, strategy, private equity, and business development. I’ve secured competitive roles at top firms, gaining hands-on experience in all things career development! Currently working at Leland, I’m passionate about helping ambitious professionals navigate competitive industries and achieve their career goals. Having successfully coached 100+ individuals to land roles in top firms, I know what it takes to stand out—from crafting compelling resumes and acing interviews to building strategic networks. Whether you’re breaking into a new field or advancing in your current role, I offer personalized guidance and actionable strategies to help you land offers, not just interviews. Let’s connect and create a tailored plan to accelerate your career success!

I want to make it easier and more predictable for others to figure out the strategies needed to get into "elite" institutions like the ones I attended - I had to stumble across these strategies myself, and want to take the guesswork out of the process for others! Most importantly: I'm passionate about helping folks figure out their unique Why - so that they can create a career rocket ship, and craft a compelling narrative for it. (This also involves reframing self-limiting beliefs that have kept you feeling stuck or overwhelmed.) I've worked with tons of clients on both sides of the coin - both those trying to get into the worlds I navigated, and those trying to rediscover a cohesive sense of self and tailored plan for growth, after years or even decades in the corporate world.

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. So, utilizing my personal failures and successes, including landing a role as a Sr. Consultant at a Consulting firm, despite applying off-season, and my natural ability to coach, I now help recent undergrads in career development. I particularly enjoy and excel working with recent undergrad students understanding that post graduation is an anxious time, especially for those unsure of their career. Besides providing support and advice, I coach my clients in understanding themselves and determining their goals so that they approach each role confidently and with a strong narrative. Clients of mine have been able to learn sustainable relationship and career building skills, allowing them to make a positive impact in their role and advance in their career.

I know what it takes to make bold career moves because I’ve made them myself. Over my 20+ years at Microsoft, I successfully transitioned industries—from core tech to gaming—and disciplines—from engineering into product management and production. Each change required navigating uncertainty, building new skills, and proving myself in unfamiliar spaces. That lived experience helps me guide clients who are considering their own pivots, whether into a new role, company, or industry. As a hiring manager and leader, I’ve recruited, mentored, and developed talent at every stage of their careers. I’ve helped direct reports earn promotions, coached team members into leadership roles, and now work with coaching clients who are designing more fulfilling and impactful paths forward. If you’re ready to grow your career, pivot into something new, or step into leadership with confidence, I can help you make that transition with clarity and momentum.

I help cautious people leap and impulsive people land. That means I work with people navigating high-stakes decisions — negotiating compensation, applying to MBA programs, pivoting careers, or figuring out how parenthood changes the professional math. The common thread: you're smart enough to see all the complexity, and that's exactly what's making it hard to move. I'm warm and I'm direct, and I'll ask the question you've been circling around. My job isn't to hand you a script. It's to help you think clearly enough to trust your own judgment when it counts. Why me: At Berkeley Haas, I was selected as a Graduate Student Instructor for Negotiations based on exemplary performance — coaching, grading, and mentoring students through one of the most competitive courses in the MBA curriculum. I also facilitated Dialogues on Race and completed Power & Politics and Interpersonal Dynamics ("Touchy Feely"), the course co-taught with Stanford on feedback, conflict, and the conversations most people avoid. Four courses in how humans influence, navigate difference, and build trust — and I've been on both sides of the classroom. As VP of Admissions for the Haas MBA student association, I reviewed applications and helped candidates tell stories that were actually theirs. I know what gets someone in and what doesn't. Professionally, I spent a decade in tech strategy at LinkedIn and Salesforce, making complex cross-functional initiatives land. Before that, I was a Teach For America corps member, where I learned that good coaching meets people where they are. I'm a visual thinker, a former teacher, and I'm deeply interested in what stays human in an increasingly tech-driven world — the ability to negotiate, read a room, and have a hard conversation with grace. Those aren't soft skills. They're the skills that compound. Whether you're looking to advance in your current role or pivot to a new career path, I'm here to help you navigate the complexities of career development. Let's work together to achieve your professional goals!

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in law and business, I bring a wealth of experience to career development coaching. As a corporate attorney at a Fortune 500 company, mediator, and arbitrator, I've honed my skills in negotiation, conflict resolution, and strategic business advising. My role as a Career Design Coach for Graduate Business Students at Santa Clara University has allowed me to guide over hundreds of individuals in navigating career transitions, developing clear plans for career development, and articulating networking strategies. I am particularly passionate about conflict coaching, which brings the best of interpersonal skills development and executive coaching together to chart a path forward to reduce any manner of friction which may be preventing a project or professional relationship from reaching new levels of success. Whether you're looking to transition into a new field, refine your negotiation skills or find a thought sparring partner, I'm here to provide tailored support and insights. Let's connect and chart a course for your career success!

Bringing a wealth of experience and passion for guiding professionals through pivotal career moments, I am dedicated to empowering people at every career stage. As someone who has navigated multiple career shifts, I am well-versed in the challenges and opportunities of career pivots. This first-hand experience enriches my ability to guide people through transitions, whether it’s a job change, industry switch, or re-entering the workforce. Extensive experience in supporting managers and company leaders, equipping them with strategies to effectively coach and develop their teams. I believe that everyone has the potential to grow, and with the right guidance, can navigate any career journey or strategic business challenge with clarity and resilience. Over 1000+ hours coaching and mentoring staff, colleagues and clients on a global level.

I've spent the last few years at the intersection of recruiting, mentorship, and career strategy, and I've seen what actually makes a difference for people early in their careers - especially in an internship. As a mentor in BYU's HR Program, I worked directly with students on internship strategy, target company lists, and the application process from start to finish. I've helped students land roles at EY and get into BYU's Accounting Program by focusing on two things: a resume that is clean and strategic, and a story that actually sounds like them. At Leland, I've recruited and hired both interns and coaches. I've sat on the other side of the table and I know what stands out in an interview. How you present yourself matters. I converted from intern to full-time employee while finishing my degree, and I did it by being intentional about how I showed up, took ownership, and made myself impossible to overlook. That is exactly what I help you figure out. Whether you are trying to land your first internship, break into a competitive program, or just figure out how to position yourself, I will help you build a strategy that is specific to you and actually works.
