THE ROOTS OF FIND. SUCCEED. ACHIEVE.

I didn’t plan to become a career coach. My career began in recruiting, spending two decades helping companies hire top talent and watching thousands of professionals navigate their careers, some successfully and others less so. I learned exactly what makes hiring decisions happen, what gets overlooked, and how powerful it is when someone can clearly communicate their value.

Over time, colleagues, clients, and even friends started coming to me for advice, resume help, LinkedIn feedback, interview prep, or simply to figure out what’s next. What began as informal guidance turned into something much bigger: a mission to help high-achieving professionals get unstuck, feel confident about their direction, and build careers that align with both their goals and values.

That’s how Find. Succeed. Achieve. was born.

I founded this practice to close the gap between potential and opportunity, and to help talented professionals articulate what they bring to the table and be seen for it. My approach blends real-world recruiting experience with practical, modern strategy. No fluff. No outdated tactics. Just clear, actionable steps that work in today’s market.

Today, I work with clients across industries to clarify what’s next, build strong personal brands, and confidently pursue roles that fit. Because career success isn’t about luck or algorithms. It’s about knowing your story, owning your worth, and taking intentional action to find what’s right for you.

WHY WORK WITH ME

Most career coaches teach theory. I’ve lived the hiring process from the inside.

With over 20 years as a recruiter, I’ve reviewed thousands of resumes, interviewed hundreds of professionals, and partnered directly with hiring managers across industries. I know exactly what employers look for, and what makes a candidate stand out.

That insider knowledge shapes everything I do. My clients don’t get generic advice or cookie-cutter templates; they get a strategy grounded in real hiring behavior. Together, we’ll translate your experience into a brand that commands attention, craft materials that get noticed, and build a plan that works in today’s market.

Because landing the right role isn’t luck; it’s alignment, clarity, and positioning done right.
