Meet Melanie
Executive Career Coach Helping Professionals Clarify Their Next Chapter & Succeed with Confidence.
You deserve a search that works. I help high-achieving professionals clarify their next chapter, position their value, and win senior, executive, or board-level roles.
As a former recruiter with 20+ years of experience, I have reviewed thousands of resumes and hired across industries. I know why most applications get ignored, and I know how to get the right ones to the top of the list.
What we do together
Turn your story into a clear, compelling brand that opens doors
Build a modern resume, LinkedIn profile, and messaging that convert
Create a focused plan for interviews, referrals, and offers
What you can expect: Clarity, confidence, and steady momentum. You leave with a simple system you can run, not just documents.
On a personal note: I love being by the water, time with my kids, trips to Honduras, and finding great coffee.
From resume to interview prep, I offer tailored strategies to help you land the role you want — and deserve.
Land the Role You Deserve
Does This Sound Like You?
You’ve built a successful career, but lately something feels off. The work no longer excites you, and the Sunday scaries have become routine.
You’ve put in the effort to update your resume and polish your LinkedIn, but sending out applications rarely leads to meaningful conversations. Instead of doors opening, it feels like they’re closing.
Every few months, you tap your network for leads — only to hear crickets. Meanwhile, colleagues with less experience seem to be moving ahead while you’re left wondering what you’re missing.
It’s not that you lack skills or leadership ability. You’ve got the track record. But in today’s job market, it feels like you’re invisible.
The endless stream of conflicting career advice only adds to the frustration. With so many voices telling you what to do, it’s hard to know where to focus or which strategy will actually work.
And if you’re being honest, some days you start to wonder if that next-level role you’ve been chasing even exists.
THEN YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
My Career Story
Here’s my confession: despite being a Career Coach today — and a recruiter for 20 years — I did not have my career all figured out from the start. Far from it.
Like many of my clients, I spent years feeling lost and unsure of what direction to take. I bounced through college, eventually earning a degree in public relations, and landed my first job — not glamorous, not prestigious, but a start.
It wasn’t until I joined Robert Half that I discovered work that challenged me, stretched me, and opened doors I didn’t even know existed.
Along the way, I faced plenty of challenges: difficult managers, toxic environments, jobs that drained my energy instead of fueling it. At the time, I felt anxious and stuck. Looking back, I see those experiences for what they were — the stepping stones that led me here.
As a recruiter, I worked with everyone from new graduates to C-suite leaders. I saw firsthand why brilliant, qualified candidates were overlooked, and I learned what truly makes someone stand out.
Today, I use that knowledge to help professionals like you break through the noise, get noticed, and land roles you actually want. My mission is simple: help the 99% of candidates who get rejected position themselves as the top 1%.
Because I know — from my own story and from hundreds of client wins — that career transitions are possible at any age, in any industry, without sacrificing your worth.
So if you’re ready for clarity, confidence, and opportunities that match your talent, I’m here to guide you.
