I specialize in writing ATS-optimized resumes, tailored cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, motivational letters, statements of purpose, and career documents that clearly communicate your achievements, leadership value, and measurable impact.
Over the years, I have worked with hundreds of professionals, from mid-career specialists and senior managers to directors, executives, founders, consultants, and high-potential leaders, transforming complex career histories into clear, compelling, keyword-rich narratives that appeal to recruiters, hiring managers, and Applicant Tracking Systems.
My work has supported clients across technology, software engineering, finance, FP&A, marketing, healthcare, consulting, corporate services, international job markets, and remote-first roles. Whether you need a quick resume polish, a full strategic resume rewrite, a LinkedIn profile overhaul, or career coaching support, I help position your experience in a way that stands out and wins attention.
My Services Include:
✅ Executive, Senior-Level, Mid-Career, and Leadership Resumes
✅ ATS-Optimized Resume Writing, Resume Rewrites, and CV Revamps
✅ ATS-Friendly Formatting, Keyword Optimization, and Recruiter Search Alignment
✅ Cover Letters, Application Documents, and Adaptable Cover Letter Templates
✅ LinkedIn Profile Optimization, LinkedIn About Sections, Headlines, and Career Branding
✅ Motivational Letters, Statements of Purpose, and International CVs
✅ Interview Coaching, Career Coaching, Job Search Strategy, and Remote Role Positioning
How I Work:
✅ Discovery & Career Assessment, I review your background, achievements, target roles, challenges, and career goals
✅ Strategic Positioning, I identify your strongest value proposition and align your resume with the roles you want
✅ Drafting, I transform your career history into a concise, achievement-focused, metrics-driven narrative
✅ ATS & Recruiter Optimization, I optimize your resume and LinkedIn profile with role-specific keywords recruiters actually search
✅ Review & Refinement, I provide revisions until your documents reflect your true value with clarity and confidence
✅ Final Delivery, You receive polished, ATS-friendly documents ready for recruiters, hiring managers, and online applications
I hold a Master of Science (MS) in Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations, giving me strong insight into hiring decisions, HR expectations, recruiter psychology, ATS systems, and modern recruitment practices. I combine this expertise with strategic storytelling, research, and career branding to create resumes and LinkedIn profiles that do more than list responsibilities, they highlight impact, quantify results, and position you as the right candidate.
Whether you are targeting executive roles, mid-senior finance positions, software engineering jobs, marketing leadership roles, international opportunities, remote roles, or a career transition, I help you turn your professional story into a powerful career asset.
Let’s transform your resume, LinkedIn profile, and career documents into tools that open doors, attract recruiters, and win opportunities

A CIPD-qualified HR specialist with over 5 years of hands-on operations, recruitment and people management experience - I worked my way up from a successfully acquired 20-people tech start-up to a Silicon Roundabout healthcare scale-up and to now a global international E-sports org, gaining comprehensive understanding of hiring needs and recruitment processes across multiple roles, seniority levels and industries.
I'm a big believer in a holistic approach to career decisions, and so here is a rough process I aim to follow:
1. An initial call or an in-person chat (I live in Shoreditch, London), where I will seek to gain comprehensive understanding of your academic and professional background and your desires and motivations for the next step in your career - and advise you on exactly where I can be helpful.
2. Once we both agree on the terms, I'll commence my work based on your request - construct or re-haul your CV/cover letter/LinkedIn Profile, help you organise your background into a clear and comprehensive narrative so that you can succeed in different interview settings and give any supporting advice and assistance throughout the process.
What we'll seek to achieve together:
• Create you a winning CV, cover letter, and a set of interview answers you can apply to most interview settings, plus insight about niche job boards specific to your industry
• Help you narrate your experience in a way that is meaningful to hiring managers and recruiters
• Assist with interview preparation and share hiring insights to ensure that you are a top candidate.
• Offer comprehensive advice on the current job market trends and role alternatives where your skillset would be applicable, as well as assist with role/industry transition
Where needed, I also offer advice and guidance on any ongoing HR processes, e.g. negotiating a promotion, managing your own personal development and career progression, effectively navigating an employee relations case etc.
Note: Happy to complete the first few projects at a considerably discounted rate as I'm building my Upwork profile and recognition, so please do reach out with the details of your request and we can negotiate the rate
