As a Writer

After spending several years coaching and teaching thousands of people to find new and better jobs in the technology industry, I noticed that many lacked an understanding of the basics when it came to conducting an effective job search. This was especially true for recent graduates and those who hadn't looked for a new job in a while. 

 

So, I wrote the basics into the 100-page action-oriented workbook, called Launchpad: A Job Search Workbook. Filled with quick activities and exercises to demystify the process, help you focus on the most important aspects of a search, and get you moving toward a new job fast. 

 

It is my sincere hope that you take this workbook and run with it, confident that you have a compelling personal brand, an effective resume, and the capability to tell your career story while networking or in an interview.

As a Person

I have excitement for so many things in life; friends and family, arts & crafts, living in Portugal, writing, and helping others thrive at the top of the list. 

 

While I understand that branding is an important part of a job search, especially in the corporate world, I avoid it in my personal life. I like to be well-rounded, experiment, and reinvent myself as much as possible. To that end, I've lived in several US states and European countries, am a first-generation college graduate, owned and operated a retail body jewelry kiosk chain, have run three marathons, knit numerous sweaters for loved ones, earned an NM state powerlifting record, spent a season on a dragon boat paddling team, baked and decorated a wedding cake, was a beekeeper and had a flock of chickens, through-hiked The Enchantments in WA state...and I am continually adding more things I want to do to my list! 

 

I currently reside in Porto, Portugal with my terrier, Penny. I'm a devoted aunt and an enthusiastic birdwatcher.
