ABOUT ME

I love people and their resumes!

Finally. I hit "send" on my resume and then, somehow, lost the document. After working on my resume for days, I was devastated. True to my character, I persevered and re-wrote my resume. I knew this would not be the last time I had to write a resume. I was graduating from college and entering full job search mode. As the months, then weeks passed, I found myself needing to tailor my resume yet again and again. It wasn't an "easy" task though I do remember (yet still not wanting to acknowledge to myself, let alone others), I started thinking "this resume writing is kind of fun". Who likes writing resumes? As it turns out, to my surprise, I did!

My own obstacles lead me to a greater understanding of the pivotal role resumes play in the job search. I have a passion for helping others learn to "sell" their skills, experience and personal brand and land "best fit" interview opportunities.

I LOVE asking questions and getting to know the ins and outs of everyone's situation and share with them how I can help them properly define and successfully reach their goals.
