As a Career Counselor for 25+ years, I have been passionate about helping people identify their goals. Even before the pandemic, I understood the anxiety people felt when thinking about the job search, interviewing, or changing jobs. It is hard to send out dozens of resumes and not receive replies. Also, it's discouraging to conduct job interviews only to be rejected.

​

I have helped thousands discover their career interests, write résumés and LinkedIn profiles, develop interview skills and learn successful job search/networking strategies. All of this has helped instill confidence in my clients. I remain aware of trends affecting the job search. Based in Los Angeles, California, I provide virtual career coaching throughout the U.S. and internationally.

 

Professionally, I am pleased to be recognized as an expert in the career coaching field, interviewed by the Los Angeles Times for an article about advice for recently laid-off individuals.

I was a invited to be a guest on the TV program, So Cal In Focus (interview begins at 16:38) to discuss hiring and job trends amid the pandemic. In addition, LinkedIn has listed me as one of their 'Top Career Coaching Providers.'

​

I have held Career Consulting roles at the University of Southern California's main career center, the Marshall School of Business, and Occidental College. Additionally, I served as the Career Services Director at Pitzer College (part of the Claremont College Consortium) for over 12 years.

​

​​​As a former Mock Interview Consultant with two highly regarded international Education Admissions Advising companies, over 75% of my clients were accepted into top-tier institutions.
