About Me
You know that feeling - that itch that tells you something isn’t quite right in your career?
Maybe you feel stuck, burnt out, or like you’re constantly chasing success on someone else’s terms.
I get it. I’ve been there.
As a strengths-based career and executive coach (and a creative myself), I help multi-hyphenates, freelancers, consultants, and anyone questioning their professional identity break free from self-doubt, redefine success, and build careers that feel expansive, not limiting.
Through a proven, step-by-step system, I guide clients to:
See their skills as transferable, not limiting. You are more than your job title. Your experiences and strengths are assets—let’s uncover how they can open new doors.
Break free from feeling financially or energetically stuck. Your career isn’t a fixed path; it’s an evolving journey. You deserve to wake up excited to start the day, and motivated by what's to come.
Overcome fear and doubt. Because most of the time, what’s holding us back isn’t a lack of skill, but the stories we tell ourselves about what we're capable of.
Uncover your values and redefine success. Not by external measures, but by what truly fulfills you.
Build lasting confidence and credibility. Whether it’s personal branding, networking, or simply owning your story, we can work together so you can show up with clarity and conviction.
As a coach, I bring together two worlds: my background in Global Brand at LinkedIn, where I built expertise in personal branding, authentic networking, and career storytelling, and my experience as an award-winning creative, which means I understand what it’s like to navigate unconventional, nonlinear career paths.
If you’re ready to get unstuck and start building a career that works for you, get in touch.

Reviews
Michelle was warm, knowledgeable, and poised. We fit quite a bit into 50 minutes. She outlined how the conversation could go based on what I was looking for and we immediately dug right in. As a high-performer myself, it's tough to realize when we need help with our career direction. We all need help from time to time. We may know how to help others, but we also need to recognize when it's time to have someone break it down for us and help us recognize things we may be blind to seeing. I left feeling more empowered and energized. We ended with some action-items and I'm sure I will be scheduling a follow up with her soon. I highly recommend her!
