Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

Welcome! Having navigated the paths of Harvard Business School, McKinsey (top 5% ranked Manager), and product strategy at Google, I know first-hand the challenges of joining and operating in highly competitive organizations. My coachees appreciate that I share tactical, "high signal, low noise" advice to help them navigate tricky workplace situations, land their next big role, or gain admission to top MBA programs. I’ve used these insights to successfully coach 20+ individuals, helping them identify exactly what works—and what to avoid—to reach their goals. Let's connect and think through your next best action together.

With over 7 years of experience in tech companies like LinkedIn and Microsoft, I can help professionals navigate their career paths and achieve their goals. As a Senior Product Manager, I work on machine learning use cases for recommender systems, and my background in FP&A equips me with a unique perspective on career development. I've personally been promoted from Analyst to Senior Analyst to Manager, transitioned to Associate Product Manager to PM to now Senior PM, so I think I have a good perspective how to exceed expectations and achieve the next level. I would love to help you form your goals and make a game plan how to set yourself up for success in your role.

While getting my MBA and since completing it, many family and friends have asked me if they should pursue a graduate degree. Getting an MBA or any graduate degree is not for everyone and I will share my candid experience while learning more about what it is you are ultimately trying to achieve. I have also worked for a variety of Fortune 500 companies in various functions and roles, which have helped me to coach others that feel stuck in their career and are considering making a change. The grass is not always greener on the other side and I am passionate about helping people make those tough decisions!

In the competitive world of high-stakes tech, a great resume is just the entry fee. To land the role and the salary you deserve, you need a comprehensive personal brand and a strategic edge. I bring deep experience from working at AWS and Microsoft, combined with the "in-the-trenches" perspective of a venture-backed startup founder—milestones I successfully navigated all by the age of 27. I specialize in helping professionals bridge the gap between "qualified" and "hired" by providing the exact tactical playbook I used to secure pre-seed funding and transition between the world’s top tech giants. My approach is built on three pillars of success. First, I offer a mastery of the FAANG hiring bar; having previously run a private resume-reviewing business where I helped 20+ clients land their dream jobs, I know how to overhaul a profile to stand out to elite recruiters. Second, as a student of Computer Science at Georgia Tech, I provide unique insights into the world of top-tier U.S. post-grad education and can help you navigate the application landscape and technical rigors of elite programs. Finally, as a venture-backed Co-founder and COO, I offer an insider’s view of the high-growth startup ecosystem, helping you translate technical skills into leadership potential. Whether we are deconstructing your experience for a high-impact resume, building a personal brand that attracts recruiters while you sleep, or navigating the nuances of salary negotiations to ensure you aren't leaving money on the table, my coaching is rooted in real-world data and current industry trends. I don’t just give advice; I provide the roadmap I used to excel in the global tech market before the age of 30. Let’s stop guessing and start getting you the results you’ve earned.

I tripled my salary in 5 years and negotiated a fully remote status in Hawaii when my company pushed RTO. Now I coach job seekers to do the same: sharper positioning, stronger interviews (including case), and higher offers. I work in strategy & ops at Visa on executive-facing, high-impact initiatives. I’ve held roles in corporate strategy and revenue operations at Visa and Lucid Software. I’ve coached clients into opportunities across strategy, marketing, tech sales, tourism, and even medical school admissions. Previous clients have landed offers from Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Visa, and the Department of Defense to name a few. If you’re ready to make a move, I’d love to help you chart the most direct path to it.

I have worked for over 30 years with hundreds of students and clients seeking to start their career, or to change fields. I work in particular with lawyers seeking to switch fields and careers, and with pre-law students looking to enter the field of law, as well as with law students, and college students in general. I have published two books and many articles on the topic of career change, and finding a job/career. I was an Assistant Dean of a very large multi-campus Pre-law Advising program at a major university for many years. I was also a Director in the Career Services Office of a major law school for several years and have also had my own private career coaching practice. I am also experienced in administering and interpreting several career inventories.

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.
