About Me

Hi, I'm Claire! I empower college students, new grads, entry-level talent, mid-level professionals, and career transitioners with personalized guidance, actionable advice, and essential resources to achieve their career goals. My journey began with an internship at Career Contessa, where I identified a gap in career resources and started writing advice articles to help fellow students navigate their job searches. I launched my career as a Manager of Recruitment at Ascend Indiana, guiding students and recent graduates through job searches and applications. At LinkedIn, I worked as an Emerging Talent Recruiter, managing the full-cycle recruiting process for interns, new grads, and entry-level roles. This role gave me a deep understanding of what it takes to stand out in the hiring process. Currently, I serve as the Assistant Director of Experiential Education at the University of Chicago, overseeing programs that connect students with employers and alumni globally, shaping their career paths and fostering valuable connections. Drawing from my extensive experience in recruiting, mentoring, and career development, I offer expertise in: • Career Exploration • Job Search & Networking Strategies • Resume Review • Cover Letter & LinkedIn Profile Review • Interview Preparation Let's get started!

My career exploration session with Claire was fantastic! I completed a reflection exercise before our session and we were able to dig into specific career highs/lows to date and what energizes vs drains me. Claire ended the session with actionable next steps for me to take. I'm feeling more organized and in control of what's next for me in my career.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Claire as my career coach, and her guidance has been invaluable. She has a remarkable talent for tailoring CVs to emphasize strengths and match targeted roles. Claire's insights into my interests and her ability to identify suitable career paths have been especially helpful, particularly when I felt lost in the arduous career search. Her approach is both professional and invigorating, making the process enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to refine their career strategy.
