That range gives me a sharp, adaptable perspective on how to position your story, whether you're switching industries, leveling up, or navigating a high-stakes pivot.

I’ve been trained in proven job search and career advising methods by leading experts, drawing from frameworks used by top MBA programs and career centers.
