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.

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.

I started my product management journey through a competitive development program where I was one of the few participants from a non-traditional background, having studied International Affairs before breaking into tech. Since then, I’ve worked across both front-end and back-end teams, led high-impact initiatives, and earned a promotion within my company. My true expertise lies in helping others crack the case, especially those coming from non-technical or unconventional paths. I’ve mastered behavioral and case-style interviews and love coaching others to tell their story with confidence and clarity. Beyond my day-to-day work, I’ve served on leadership councils, represented my company at major conferences, and played an active role in developing early-career talent. Whether you’re preparing for your first product role, navigating a new environment, or trying to translate your non-technical background into a compelling product story, I’m here to help you do it with strategy, confidence, and authenticity.
