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.

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.
