I didn’t start out wanting to be a career coach — I started out as the person doing the hiring. Over the course of my career, I sat on the other side of the table and made 300+ hiring decisions across industries, watched talented people talk themselves out of roles they were more than qualified for, and learned exactly what separated the candidates who got the offer from those who didn’t. It wasn’t always credentials. More often, it was presentation, confidence, and strategy.
That insider perspective followed me everywhere. Through corporate recruiting, product development, and eventually into higher education as a career advancement professional at one of the country’s top-ranked universities, I kept seeing the same gap — highly capable professionals who couldn’t translate what they actually brought to the table. They were underselling themselves in resumes, interviews, salary negotiations, and leadership rooms. Not because they lacked ability, but because nobody had ever taught them how to present it.
Word spread the way it always does. Friends, colleagues, and former colleagues started reaching out. Then their friends. Then people I’d never met, coming through referrals because someone had landed a role, negotiated a salary increase, or finally gotten the promotion they’d been passed over for. I was doing the work informally for years before I formalized it — late nights, long calls, resume rewrites, mock interviews. I didn’t have a packaged process yet. I just knew what worked because I’d watched it work from the hiring side.
That’s where YourCareerMentor was born. I built the M.O.V.E. Method© to systematize what I’d been doing intuitively for over a decade — a four-stage process that takes clients from clarity to offer, and from overlooked to influential. Built on 300+ hiring decisions, 12+ years of coaching and recruiting experience, and the kind of insider knowledge that changes how a candidate walks into a room. The results followed: 400+ career moves supported, most clients reaching their goal in 3 months or less — 2x faster than the national average.
If you’ve been putting in the work and not getting the results, the gap probably isn’t your experience. It’s how you’re presenting it. That’s exactly what we fix.

With a foundation in neuroscience, policy, psychology, and leadership development, she blends data, emotional intelligence, and systemic thinking to support professionals in identifying and securing roles aligned with their values. Coaching goes beyond ‘getting the job’—it includes discerning toxic work cultures, advocating for better pay, and designing work lives that support joy and purpose.
