I’m a seasoned HR professional and career coach with over 18 years of experience helping individuals position themselves for success and stand out in competitive job markets. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across distribution, manufacturing, and technology sectors, gaining deep insight into what hiring managers and recruiters are truly looking for. I now specialize in translating that knowledge into powerful, results-driven resumes, optimized LinkedIn profiles, and personalized career coaching that gets results. I don’t just rewrite resumes—I help clients tell their professional story in a way that highlights impact, builds confidence, and aligns with today’s hiring trends. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, struggling to land interviews, or looking to elevate your personal brand, I provide practical, tailored guidance every step of the way. My approach combines real-world HR expertise with a coaching mindset to help you: Craft compelling, ATS-friendly resumes Optimize your LinkedIn presence for visibility Prepare confidently for interviews Develop a clear, strategic job search plan If you’re looking for a partner who understands both sides of the hiring process and is committed to helping you succeed, I’d love to work with you.

Let's cut to the chase (more about me below). What type of services are you looking for and how can I be of value to you? 1. If you're looking for career development assistance including resume and cover letter development, interviewing practice, or anything of the sort, let's talk. 2. If you're looking for a content creator for healthcare-related topics, especially that of nursing, let's talk. 3. If you're looking for a nursing expert, let's talk. I work closely with clients to get them exactly what they need. I provide clients with clear and concise feedback. I communicate clearly and frequently. I am able to cut through the fluff that others create and building meaningful content that is unique, truthful, and thought-provoking whether it be for a consumer or hiring manager. If you want a real answer, rather than someone who will tell you what they think you want to hear, let's talk. I've worked directly with Consumer Health Reports, Indeed, various nursing blogs/websites, universities, Today's Wound Clinic Journal, and individual clients as well. Google my name for examples or check out my Upwork profile. About me: -Over 10 years of nursing experience (inpatient, outpatient, management), most at Mayo Clinic -Staff RN, nurse manager, and nurse director experience -BSN and Master's degree (Organizational Leadership) -Passionate about leadership and career development -Progressive leadership advancement from staff role to director level -Full-time professional, part-time freelancer
