I turn applications into acceptances and offers! I'm addicted to helping people achieve their goals and understand the value in branding yourself, whether for a career, for admissions, or for your business. My documents are highly professional and tailored to each client to suit their needs. I provide consistent and reliable communication and services. As a dedicated career counselor and college admissions professional I provide highly personalized career counseling and college planning services, tailored to each client's needs. While I can help in all aspects of career development and college admissions planning, I specialize in the following: - resume writing and review - federal resume writing and review - federal job search strategies and applications - college planning - selective college admissions - college admission essay collaboration/writing - application document writing and review - one-on-one career counseling As a copy editor, I value wordsmithing after I've drafted a document to ensure it has the desired affect on readers and conveys the information in a logical but creative way.

I spent nearly four years as a corporate recruiter and sourcer at UPS and Veritiv, screening résumés and deciding who got a call. Now I write the ones that get calls — fast, and without a drawn-out process. Most résumés aren't bad. They're written like a job description instead of a case for why you should be hired. That's what I fix. What you get • A rewritten, ATS-clean résumé built around the specific role you're targeting • Every bullet reframed as what you did → how you did it → what it produced • Positioning up top so a recruiter knows in six seconds why you fit • One round of revisions included How it works 1. Send me your current résumé and a job posting you're targeting. 2. I ask a short set of questions by message — no calls to schedule. 3. Draft back in 1–3 business days. Same-day available on request. Typical time: Résumés run 2–3 hours. LinkedIn profile rewrites run 1–2. Cover letters, under 1. Also available: LinkedIn rewrites, cover letters, interview prep, and job search strategy. Background: MSM in Management (Talent Training & Development). Six years running my own career development practice — 400+ clients, 50+ five-star reviews. I've worked both sides: corporate recruiting and sourcing, HR generalist work, and career services at a major public university. I won't fabricate experience or inflate titles. If something in your background isn't landing, I'll tell you straight and we'll position around it. Send me your résumé and the role you're going after.
