Testimonials
Darrin, a mid-career finance professional with experience at top U.S. accounting firms, faced major changes after his company was acquired. With roles shifting, he needed a new job search strategy. I worked with him to refocus his approach—and helped him successfully reach his goals.
After a few years of exploring post-college paths, Felix was unsure how to turn his history and preservation background into a clear career direction. With experience in archival work and artifact handling, he had the foundation—he just needed focus. I helped him refine his follow-up and presentations, guiding him into his next professional chapter.
Obed had built a strong career in the pharmaceutical industry but felt he wasn’t reaching his full potential. His former company did not provide growth opportunities for him to explore. He decided to pivot. Together, we refined his portfolio, improved his outreach strategy, and conducted mock interviews. The result: he secured a high-level position and successfully relocated closer to home.
