What makes me a successful career coach? I started at the bottom and worked my way up to success, which means I’ve been in your shoes. I understand challenges and frustrations because I overcame them myself.

I was barely out of college when I had to navigate the dot-com bubble and subsequent crash of 2000. My competition had more experience than me, which meant in that volatile bear market, I had to be smarter, faster, and more strategic if I wanted to pull ahead in the highly competitive tech industry. I spent the next fifteen years deep in the IT trenches wearing many hats — product manager, project manager, business analyst, tester, developer.

I learned how to network and seek out roles that gave me the knowledge and experience to increase my worth (and get paid accordingly)… all without wasting time staying afloat at dead-end jobs or sending out hundreds of applications. Now, I help clients apply those same lessons to bolster their own careers.
