You're Not Unqualified.
You're lost in translation.
Transform from "I can do anything" to "I'm the obvious choice". And guess what? You can do it without learning one more skill or earning another certification or degree.
Is this you:
You finish projects. You meet impossible deadlines. You solve problems others can't.
But when it comes time to what’s next in your career, interviewing, networking, or asking for a promotion? You freeze. Or worse, you're so vague that people walk away thinking you're nice, but they have no idea why you're exceptional.
If I asked you right now what makes you awesome, could you tell me?
Here's what's really happening:
You've been operating on autopilot for so long that you've lost connection to what makes you valuable with the oodles of incredible experience you’ve achieved. You can't articulate your impact. You make hiring managers work too hard to infer your worth. And while you're being "open to anything," your competition is being laser-focused and landing the roles you deserve.
The truth? You don't need another course. Another certification. Another skill.
You need to pause, take stock of your brilliance, and translate it into already have into language and assets that make key decision-makers say: "We need this person. Now."
If you work a corporate role, chances are you might feel like a line on a spreadsheet and your position can be eliminated at any time, or maybe already has, and you don’t understand the performance measures or reasons why. It happens so frequently these days and we don’t keep job for decades like generations before us.
Why wait for someone else to choose what happens to your livelihood?
Take action to build or lean into something that’s aligned with what you want to do.

FAQs

The meat of my coaching has been in technical environments working with software and hardware engineers, DevOps, data analytics, and more at all levels from first tech role through VP.
I’ve also heavily worked with marketing, sales, account executives, and many more.
I’m also very interested in working with first generation college students and professionals. As someone who identifies as such and has seen how much someone can benefit by being empowered to advocate for themselves, know their value, experience social capital (networking!), and explore careers many don’t exist, it’s important to me. -
As a job seeker, working with a career coach can help you identify your target work, identify your non-negotiables and values, and most importantly, help you develop a narrative and assets outlining your value. I have found that most folks, after working with 100’s, have a difficult time knowing how skilled they are and how to connect their experience to where they want to go. They end up with a resume that doesn’t work for them, interviewing stories that are too broad, and often feel isolated and confused on how to move forward. By having dialogue around all this, I help you articulate all of this!
-
Most resumes I’ve seen over the years tell a story of where they’ve been, and not targeted where they want to go. They also miss key elements, like the title of the role you want to go in, and miss impact. I’m driven to help you make your resume (and LinkedIn profile) resonate more closely with where you want to go and make it easy to connect with hiring managers and recruiters.
-
Yes, I can help you with mock interviews! When I work with clients on their interview skills I hone in on making sure they are telling good stories, inferring their value, and putting proof in everything they say. (ex: Tell me about a strength you have. What is the strength and back it up with how that’s benefited you in the work space). Many interviewers are too vague and leave interviewers questioning what they bring to the table. I’m driven to help you make a great first impression and get you taken seriously as a candidate through mock interview practice.
-
My approach comes from a place of complete positive regard where I’ll give you clear direction and insights with the utmost care and support. After working with 100’s people from a variety of backgrounds and challenges, I have a deep understanding of the needs for individualized support, have deep empathy for the journey’s people are on, and am passionate about providing people hope and motivation to achieve their desired dreams.

I use Google Meet to conduct my coaching sessions unless you prefer phone or live near me in Washougal, WA to do them in person!

After working with 100’s of people over the years, I find that people are amazing, have incredible skills and talents, but don’t realize it or know how to talk about it or put it on a resume. I find this is the case at all levels from college graduates to VP’s in a company and everything in between. We were trained to be good employees, but not how to toot our horn. We are too busy trying to prove ourselves at work that we don’t take a step back to summarize what we accomplished. When I talk to people about what they have done, ask good questions, look under the hood, everyone has something amazing to share that I re-frame in a way that makes sense for have value in your resume and your dialogue.
I don’t want you to hire me if you aren’t ready or force you to, but why wait? Why not start to take steps to elevate yourself now? Please always feel free to ask my any questions too. -
I’ve been heavily coaching since 2018, completed ICF coach training through Lumia and received their Level II certification in March of 2024.
I went on to achieve my International Coaching Federation, Accredited Credentialed Coach in August of 2024 with the required 100 hours of coaching, and secured my Professional Credentialed Coach in December of 2024 after securing more than 500 hours of coaching. (and these tallies didn’t start until September 2023) -
Most career coaches focus on resumes or interview tips. I help you build your entire brand, from uncovering your innate strengths through assessments, to excavating your achievements, to positioning yourself strategically for roles that align with who you actually are. You're not just getting a resume. You're getting clarity, language, and a roadmap.
