Hi there! Thank you for navigating to my profile. I am excited to connect with you! First, let us acknowledge and celebrate where you are right now, in this current moment. If you’ve landed on Career Contessa, you are clearly taking proactive steps to learn, grow, and develop personally and professionally, which is something to be proud of! Bravo! It is no secret that careers are journeys, filled with highs and lows and winding roads. In meeting the demands of life while also juggling work, it is natural that we sometimes lose sight of our goals and purpose. That is where the power of coaching comes in and I’d love to support you in reconnecting with yourself and re-taking the reins on those meandering roads. No one knows you better than you, and YOU will be the center of our work together. Together, we will uncover any blockers and limiting beliefs that may be holding you back, reconnect with your strengths, interests, and values, and create an action plan towards your goals and aspirations. If any of the following scenarios resonate with you, I’d love to help: - You are a few years into your post-grad career and are feeling stuck or stifled in your current profession but not sure where to go from here - You are 5-10 years into your career and considering a pivot. Something new is calling you, and you need guidance on how to get there. - You want to grow and excel in your current role/company but have not identified how to do so. - You are currently job searching and want to optimize your resume, cover letters, networking skills, or interview skills While I have proven success helping clients blossom in these areas, as your coach and trusted partner, I will always meet you wherever you are in your journey, helping you achieve your goals to live a more meaningful life. A bit about me: My diverse professional background covers a wide spectrum of organizations and work experiences. From media and entertainment, to tech, to coaching and career advising. After several years at Hulu, followed by a stint at Disney in Client Strategy, I transitioned to a Partnerships role at a high growth software company. While each experience was very different, the aspects of my work that energized me were always the same: building meaningful relationships, serving as a strategic advisor to clients and colleagues, and mentoring teammates. I knew I wanted these areas to be at the heart of my career. With that as my guiding light, I discovered the powerful world of coaching and have never looked back. This led to my current role, where I serve as an Associate Director of Career Advising at UCLA Anderson, supporting MBA students across a variety of industries and functions. My training from the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching, coupled with my own experience navigating career transitions, enables me to partner with students and clients to unlock their maximum potential. Outside of the office, as a former collegiate tennis player, athletics are near and dear to my heart as so much of what we learn through sport translates to life. I enjoy tennis (and love meeting fellow athletes of all levels!), cooking, exploring the Los Angeles restaurant & food scene, and talking TV. I look forward to learning about your story and partnering together to gain clarity in your next step!
