Thank you for considering me to assist you with your career goals.

A bit about myself: I am an experienced Career Counselor, Creativity, and Business Coach. Over the past 25 years, I have helped more than 1,000 students, professionals, and executives achieve higher earnings, build creative careers, attain better life balance, and successfully navigate major career transitions.

During our work together, I want to understand what brought you to this point in your journey, what you consider an ideal next position, and how you hope to grow both professionally and personally.

As a former Career Counselor for the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco (UC Law SF) and later the University of San Francisco’s MBA program, I have helped many graduate students and alumni secure fulfilling careers, increase their earnings, and align their work with their core values.

Additionally, I worked for many years as a Vocational Assessment Counselor for the City and County of San Francisco. In this role, I facilitated workshops and provided one-on-one guidance to help adults overcome barriers and quickly re-enter the workforce. I routinely recommended short-term training programs that led to steady, secure employment with clear potential for advancement.

I also specialize in assisting executives and professionals who wish to make mid- or late-life career changes without compromising income or life balance needs.

I hold an MBA in Marketing, a Post-Master's Certificate in Career Development, and Teaching Credentials in both English and Music. With this diverse background, I can help you evaluate and pursue self-employment, design websites and logos, craft core messaging, write compelling content, strategically plan and budget for a business launch, or explore a creative calling.

I look forward to connecting soon to start you on a fresh, rewarding career path!

Tell me your business growth goals, and in about an hour, I'll come up with a great marketing idea. For example, I recently assisted a commercial space planner who wished to increase her billable hours, work with higher-end clients, and get more referrals. I came up with a sales relationship-building program that she embraced, then coached her on overcoming objections and turning an initial phone inquiry into a sales presentation. In another recent project, I developed distinct wedge marketing outreach programs, customized for clients with different mental health practices, so that these practitioners could grow their out-of-pocket businesses. I also transformed a video production director's core message and logo into an entirely new marketing look and feel for his target market. He immediately embraced it, as it captured the imagination and interest of his sales prospects. I draw from my MBA in Marketing, instructional design training, extensive copywriting and content development experience, and work with a spectrum of professionals and executives across different industries. When we work together, we'll most likely agree that the best marketing ideas are usually the simplest and right in front of us, and a good idea solves many issues, all at once. For me, marketing is about collaborating with you, the entrepreneur, coming up with excellent ideas, and a plan and message that transforms the perceptions and interest of your buyers so that they buy your goods and services. So, give me one hour of your time, and together we'll come up with a great marketing program.
