Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

I am a 20+ year sales & marketing executive that has worked at Fortune 500 companies (P&G, Google, and Meta), and have been a Chief Revenue Officer at an AI analytics startup. I have interviewed and managed people at all ends of the spectrum from new hires to VP / excecs, in the US and APAC. I have a passion for developing others and helping the next generation of leaders to succeed. My purpose in life is to help people connect the dots to breathe life into their imagined futures. I believe my frameworks can also help people figure out what they want out of their careers and personal success / happiness.

With over 15 years in the media and adtech space, I have experience building and leading teams at both large organizations, such as Disney and eBay, as well as smaller, early-stage startups. After years of people management in the corporate world, I channeled my passion for helping individuals grow their own careers into my own coaching business aimed at making managers more confident, efficient and effective.

Are you a physician, science PhD, or undergraduate interested in a career at the intersection of medicine, business, and technology and confused about where to begin? If so, I can help! With a background in medicine, management consulting, and engineering I bring a unique perspective to career development coaching. I hold a BE from Vanderbilt University and will soon be graduating with an MD from the University of Miami. I have also spent two years as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company where I supported clients in the biopharma, healthcare, and health tech industries, getting invaluable exposure to the career paths of various industry leaders. Whether you're looking to break into business from an MD or PhD background or get into medicine from a business or engineering background, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and chart a path to your success!

I’m not just a coach - I’m someone who’s been in your shoes. My journey from MIT to corporate strategy to coaching taught me how to bridge the gap between “success” and true fulfillment. My clients describe me as present, approachable, and deeply understanding, especially for those navigating the unique pressures of high-achieving careers. As a Co-Active Coach, I’m trained to listen deeply, ask powerful questions, and guide you to your own answers. My corporate background means I speak your language, and my passion for helping you rediscover your spark means I’m all in for your journey.

As a career coach at my alma mater, the Michigan Ross School of Business, I've guided over 100 students through their career journey. Specializing in helping students find and pursue their desired post-graduation paths, I encourage looking beyond traditional MBA functions like Banking or Consulting. Over the years, I've honed a proven process to help clients clarify their goals, define a target, and chart a path to their dream job. With successful placements at Google, Oracle, Yelp, and Salesforce (and more!), I'm excited to apply this expertise to your journey and look forward to working with you! Beyond general career strategy sessions, other services include: Resume and essay reviews, mock interviews, and strengths-based evaluations like Myers-Briggs.

While in business school, I worked in MBA admissions and saw firsthand how powerful great storytelling can be. That experience sparked what’s become a passion: helping people land life-changing roles in tech. Since then, I’ve coached over 100 job seekers—many from nontraditional paths—into roles at companies like Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and high-growth startups. I support across the full journey: refining resumes, sharpening stories, prepping interviews, and navigating offers and negotiations with confidence. As a hiring manager myself, I’ve conducted 100+ interviews for roles ranging from MBA interns to full-time product managers. I know what top tech companies are really looking for, and I bring that inside perspective to every coaching session. Whether you’re breaking into tech for the first time, pivoting into product marketing, or leveling up, I offer no-fluff, practical guidance to help you stand out and land the job.

Most people don’t lose opportunities because they lack credentials. They lose them because their story doesn’t land. I work with ambitious professionals and Ivy-bound applicants who need to reposition their story during moments of change (e.g., career pivots, industry shifts, layoffs, or competitive admissions cycles.) I continue to operate professionally while coaching, which keeps my advice grounded in current market realities. My background spans higher education leadership, global tech, and platform-based businesses, where I’ve led strategy and partnerships through periods of growth, reinvention, and ambiguity. I’ve personally navigated non-linear career moves, rebranding at senior levels, and the trade-offs that come with choosing momentum over optics. What I do differently than most coaches: I don’t optimize for logos or titles. I help you decide what you’re actually positioning for, make intentional trade-offs, and articulate a narrative that holds up across resumes, applications, interviews, and real conversations. This work draws from: Senior leadership experience in complex, competitive environments First-hand career pivots across sectors and functions Deep familiarity with Ivy-caliber standards and selection logic Clients work with me when they want: Clarity on what to pursue and what to stop chasing A credible story that explains change without apology Positioning that feels grounded, confident, and defensible If you’re looking for surface-level edits or reassurance, I’m likely not the right fit. If you want strategic clarity and honest feedback, I’m happy to help.

With experience as a Hiring Manager and Operations Leader at two Fortune 500 companies and as the Career Services Director at two major university business schools, I have a proven track record of helping professionals achieve their career goals. More recently, I have worked through partnerships with top executive search firms and recruiters, as well as Storeyline Resumes. My clients have worked in Individual Contributor through CEO roles across all industries- including Finance, Technology, Consulting, Real Estate, Health Care, and more. Now I am offering my services directly to individuals like you. My expertise spans resume writing, LinkedIn profiles, professional job search, interview preparation, and executive coaching having worked with hundreds of clients to advance their careers with clarity and confidence. Whether you're looking to refine your resume or navigate a career transition, I'm here to provide customized guidance and support.

I've reinvented my career more times than I can count, and every single pivot meant entering both a new function and a new market. I started in marketing in Taiwan, moved into chief of staff and e-commerce operations, then joined Google, first in product operations in Hong Kong covering APAC, then in sales for China. Later, I transitioned into product management with no technical background, eventually becoming a Senior Technical PM at Amazon in New York. Along the way, I co-founded a consulting firm, published two books, and recently left corporate to launch my own startup. No transition came with a clear roadmap. I know what it feels like to be stuck, uncertain, and wondering "what's next?" I hold an MBA from Wharton, a Master's in Education from Penn, and am a professionally trained Co-Active coach. My approach isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you organize your thoughts, see your options more clearly, and make decisions that feel right for you. If you're navigating a career change, feeling stuck, or figuring out your next chapter, I've been there, and I'd be glad to help.

I’ve spent the last several years helping people navigate high-impact career decisions while building and leading teams at fast-growing startups. As CTO & co-founder at Leland, I’ve worked closely with hiring, interviewing, mentorship, leadership development, and team building across engineering and cross-functional roles. My experience includes: CTO & Co-founder at Leland Former Head of Engineering leading and scaling engineering teams Hiring and mentoring engineers across internship, entry-level, senior, and leadership roles Conducting technical and behavioral interviews for candidates from a wide range of backgrounds Advising people on career direction, compensation, promotions, leadership growth, and startup vs. big tech decisions I work best with ambitious people who want clear, practical, and honest guidance on questions like: What should I optimize for in my career right now? How do I position myself for better opportunities? Should I pursue startups, big tech, management, or entrepreneurship? How do I become a stronger communicator, leader, or operator? How do I stand out in competitive hiring processes? My coaching style is direct, strategic, and highly actionable. I focus less on generic advice and more on helping people make thoughtful decisions that compound over time.
