In her own words:

Field-tested career advice from an environmental professional turned coach

As both a former environmental manager and a business consultant, I've sat on both sides of the hiring table. I understand what employers look for and how to help you stand out. Many of my clients:

• Don't know what to apply for
• Feel burned out from endless job searching
• Aren't getting interviews despite meeting job requirements
• Feel uncertain about their next career move
• Need help crafting compelling resumes
• Struggle with effective networking
• and many other issues

I never had a mentor or coach – I am not sure I was even aware I should seek one. That gap led to burnout and temporarily leaving the environmental field. My mission is to prevent that from happening to you.

Whether you're seeking roles in the private, public, or nonproft sectors, I can help you understand the landscape, prepare effectively, and make strategic career decisions that align with your values and goals using the proven ENVIROlocity™ 3 Keys Framework.
