Help your Young Adult build Confidence, Direction & Momentum
Who I Work With
-
Your young adult is motivated, hardworking, and ready to start building their future. But they understand the job market is competitive, and they know that a strong GPA or one internship isn't enough on its own. They're looking for structure, guidance, and a clear roadmap to become job-ready before graduation.
What they need:
A compelling professional story that communicates their value
A standout résumé and LinkedIn profile
Clarity on which roles align with their strengths and interests
A strategic plan for internships, networking, and building relevant experience
Confidence in articulating what they bring to the table
How I help: I provide the tools, strategy, and confidence they need to enter the job market with intention, not panic. Together, we build a foundation that supports not just their first role, but the career that follows.
-
Your young adult is thoughtful, curious, and overwhelmed by the possibilities ahead. They've heard "follow your passion," but they’re struggling to translate their interests, strengths, or major into tangible career options. They're often more afraid of choosing the wrong path than not choosing at all.
What they need:
A supportive environment to explore options without judgment
A framework for understanding their natural strengths and interests
Exposure to roles and industries they may not yet be aware of
Direction without pressure to have everything figured out immediately
Permission to explore, test ideas, and learn as they go
How I help: I help them move from uncertainty to clarity. We identify their core strengths, map out viable career paths, and create a plan that allows them to explore without feeling like every decision is permanent.
-
Your young adult has worked hard throughout college and is ready to launch their career. But as graduation approaches, they're realizing the job market is more competitive than they expected. Some have internships and relevant experience to draw from. Others focused primarily on coursework and now need to build their professional foundation quickly. Either way, they need more than a résumé. They need a strategy.
What they need:
Help translating their academic experiences, coursework, projects, and any work experience into professional accomplishments
A clear understanding of how to position themselves when they don't have traditional internships or extensive experience
A targeted job search strategy that goes beyond mass applications
Strong interview skills and the ability to tell their story with confidence
Understanding of how to find opportunities and leverage connections effectively
Preparation for the realities of starting their professional life
How I help: Whether your young adult has prepared extensively or is starting from scratch, I work with them to position their background strategically, develop their professional presence, and build the communication skills that differentiate strong candidates. I'm especially effective at helping those who feel behind or unprepared build confidence and catch up quickly. They'll graduate prepared to compete and confident in their ability to land meaningful opportunities.
-
Your young adult has graduated, but instead of momentum, they're feeling stuck. The structure of school is gone, the job search feels overwhelming, and watching their peers land opportunities only adds to the pressure. They want to move forward but aren't sure where to start or how to gain traction.
What they need:
Clarity on a realistic near-term direction
Help building a professional narrative that makes sense of their background
A manageable job search process that produces results
Interview preparation and communication skills
Consistent accountability and support to maintain momentum
How I help: I help them build a direction they believe in and a plan they can execute. We transform confusion into clarity, overwhelm into actionable steps, and self-doubt into genuine confidence. Most importantly, we create the momentum that comes from making steady, intentional progress.
-
Your young adult has been working for 1-3 years and has come to an important realization: their current path isn't the right fit. Perhaps the industry doesn't align with their values, or the role doesn't leverage their strengths. They're capable and performing well, but they're unfulfilled and unsure how to make a change without starting over.
What they need:
Clarity on what they want to move toward, not just away from
Understanding of which skills and experiences transfer to new opportunities
Help positioning a career change in a way that resonates with potential employers
A strategy for exploring new options while maintaining financial stability
Confidence that changing direction is strategic, not a failure
How I help: I help them see that pivoting isn't starting over. It's redirecting with intention. We identify their transferable skills, explore aligned opportunities, and build a compelling narrative that connects their past experience to their future goals. They'll gain the clarity and confidence to make a thoughtful change that aligns with who they are.
Why Families Choose Direction Over Perfection
Your child deserves clear direction, not anxiety or guesswork.
Most students are told what to study but not how to turn that education into a career. I help them understand their strengths, explore roles that align with their interests and abilities, and build a realistic plan for moving forward with confidence.
Today's job market is complex, and young adults need knowledgeable support to navigate it successfully.
College career centers offer valuable resources, but they rarely provide personalized mentorship. I help your student develop a strong professional identity, build a compelling narrative about their background and goals, and gain the confidence to stand out in competitive environments.
Early career decisions shape long-term trajectory and confidence.
The direction and decisions made in the first 2–5 years of a career create momentum that compounds over time. I give young adults the clarity, skills, and strategic thinking to make informed decisions they can feel genuinely proud of.
Your child benefits from working with a mentor who understands the real world of hiring and professional growth.
I've spent my career hiring, managing, and building teams at high-growth companies like DoorDash, Flock Safety, and OpenTable. I bring an insider's perspective and practical, actionable guidance that goes well beyond standard career coaching.
You'll see measurable progress, not just promises.
Every engagement includes structured goals, clear deliverables, and concrete steps forward. You can feel confident knowing your young adult is making real progress with accountability and purpose guiding the way.
Confidence is built through skill development, not wishful thinking.
Many young adults know they're capable. They just don't know how to communicate that capability professionally. I help them develop the communication, decision-making, and strategic thinking skills that serve them throughout their entire career.
