I’ve been a mentor and coach before for both W&M undergrads and Darden first-year MBA candidates. I’ve also been on the other side of the table and have had incredible mentors to learn from in my own circle. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been supported in taking some non-traditional leaps in my career and personal life and am excited to pay it forward in support of others!

​

Some fun facts:

​

• First Job: mucking stalls to pay for horseback-riding lessons
• Myers-Briggs Type: INTJ
• Favorite Book: Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts
• Current Hobby: brushing up on my Italian
• Personal Mantra: “progress, not perfection”

I’ve often taken the path less traveled. I studied psychology at W&M in undergrad and post-college moved overseas to teach English and travel in Florence, Italy. This “gap year” experience while my friends took real jobs was one of the scariest and best decisions I made in my twenties to figure out what I wanted out of my life and career. Since then, I’ve explored start-ups and corporations across a wide spectrum of industries and recently completed Darden’s full-time MBA program. On a personal front, I’ve moved and lived all over the DMV, NYC, and Italy, had several serious relationships, and now am engaged to a fellow entrepreneurial spirit running his own company. I can help you with:

​

• Values analysis - understanding your personal values to guide you to a career you love and help you with dating intentionally
• Marketing careers 101 - understanding different disciplines, where you might explore, etc.
• Job search strategy for any career - building resumes, cover letters, interviewing, networking, personal branding, etc.
• Start-up strategy - from identifying if start-ups are for you to building company lists and targeting the “right fit” opportunity 
• MBA strategy - from deciding if this is the right path for you to curating materials specific to your target schools
• Living abroad - how to make friends, adjust to new places, build routines, and make the most of your time and experience while managing homesickness, culture shock, etc.

Whatever is on your mind! These sessions are personal to you. My one word of encouragement would be “focus.” Let’s dive deeply into one area per session that would be most helpful or impactful for you to explore and discuss together. 

Open-minded, curious, and supportive. I’ve been in your shoes, and I know your twenties can be a tricky and tumultuous time. I’m here for you to be an empathetic and positive force to help you discover who you already are.
