"I work with clients coast-to-coast throughout all facets of career management: from development of resumes and other branded career documents to creation of job-search strategies. Interview, job search, and negotiation coaching comprises a significant part of the work I do. While many of these clients are senior-level executives, I also work with those aspiring to reach the top organizational tiers. Likewise, through my C-level work, I have the opportunity to frequently coach trailing spouses as well as the children of these high-achieving clients as they prepare for college and graduate school admission and ultimately their own careers following completion of undergraduate and graduate studies. Prior to starting my private practice, I worked in HR/staffing, public relations, and field service management for such companies as Digital Equipment Corporation, John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, and Parker-Hannifin Corporation."
