As a career coach and career counselor in Atlanta, my services draw upon the jobs I’ve held as a career coach, my personal career transition experiences, and my corporate career in marketing, consulting and team management. I leverage my marketing and writing skills to help clients develop their positioning, differentiate themselves and communicate their story in a persuasive manner in job search communications, interviews and networking activities.

As a former Senior Career Consultant at Right Management, I helped managers, in a range of industries, functions, and stages of their career, who had lost their jobs due to economic factors. I have also created and taught job search and career management workshops, and I’ve trained other career coaches on resume writing. I also worked as a Career Coach for Duke University Executive MBA students and with MBA students at Emory University, Georgia State University and Duke University. Early in my career, I was the Interim Director of the Career Services office at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business where I coached students and marketed the school to corporate recruiters.
