About Anne


Bio

I have 30+ years of experience running career centers at a few of the best colleges and universities in the country. Former students still check in for advice when contemplating a career shift! My coaching style, though theory-based, draws on storytelling, uses humor, and conveys a deep belief in each person’s ability to find a path that is true to their skills, interests, and values. You can count on me to partner with you to tackle the obstacles, including procrastination and timidity,...

I have 30+ years of experience running career centers at a few of the best colleges and universities in the country. Former students still check in for advice when contemplating a career shift! My coaching style, though theory-based, draws on storytelling, uses humor, and conveys a deep belief in each person’s ability to find a path that is true to their skills, interests, and values. You can count on me to partner with you to tackle the obstacles, including procrastination and timidity, blocking you from finding the work that you find purposeful and satisfying.

Here is what two past students have to say: I want to thank you for your help with my job-search. Your clear-headed advice gave direction and a measure of sanity to an often-panicked process." (former client, now freelance translator in Germany) and I appreciated your analysis, opinions, and advice regarding my current state of career flux. I just wanted to thank you for helping me out. I don’t know how many other people would have understood how I was feeling. I hope I will one day learn to listen like you do" (former client, now the owner of a communications company in MN).

I have worked in higher education my whole career. Professionally I've consulted at or worked closely with dozens of universities. I've been selected to speak at more than a dozen conferences; facilitated hundreds of career and leadership workshops; conducted dozens of strategic planning retreats with small teams and nonprofit organizations; and, served on regional, state, and national boards.

No matter where you are or how you are feeling about readying yourself to choose a major, find an internship or job, or apply to graduate school, I know can help. Let's have a short conversation about what you need and let's work together to get you from here to there.
