🔀 Transitioning roles/industries: I transitioned from organizational psychology, to teaching, to EdTech, to customer success roles, and beyond! Let’s talk about transferable skills and personal branding.

🧐 Navigating ambiguity in startups: I love to think about the best ways to create structure, communicate your value, work cross-functionally, and set yourself up for promotion and success in an ambiguous environment

🕸️ Networking best practices: This is one of my superpowers! I’d love to help you network effectively, build lasting relationships, and help people help you.

🫶 Giving and receiving feedback: I’ve been thinking a lot about unhooking from praise and criticism, learning to view feedback as an external perception of my work, and centering the things that are in my control. This is really hard as an overachiever and people pleaser!

🙌 In your layoff era: If you have been laid off recently (I prefer to call this a “sabbatical”) or are in a post-layoff company (aka chaos zone), I’ve been there. Let’s talk about building your career, finding sustainable practices, and knowing how to find your next opportunity with purpose and intentionality.

Trying to make a positive difference in the world while trying to live an engaging life

Being a sounding board, asking “deep” questions to force some introspection and reflection, and sharing my experience (and all the things to or not to do).

On the career front: being a generalist, switching industries, interview prep for IB/PE/HF/VC/startups, and how to add value no matter your experience level.

On the personal front: how to navigate life once there are other aspects of your life that slowly (or immediately) become just as important or more important than your career.

Marketing leader with a passion for start-ups

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.
