You're not looking for a template. You're looking for someone who understands what your career has actually been about, then translates that into materials that command attention from recruiters, hiring managers, and decision-makers who see hundreds of resumes a week.
That's where I come in.
I've been writing resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles professionally since 2017. My work spans executives stepping into board and advisory roles, senior leaders pursuing internal promotions, mid-career professionals navigating industry pivots, and graduates entering competitive fields. I've built career materials for clients across healthcare, technology, finance, hospitality, nonprofit, government, marketing, operations, HR, and clinical fields, including professionals tied to organizations like Penn Medicine, Jefferson Health, Lancaster General Health, UPMC, EY, and venture-backed startups.
What clients consistently tell me: the writing reads like them, only sharper. The strategy is built around where they're going, not just where they've been. And the final product looks like something they're proud to send.
WHAT YOU GET WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER
Every resume engagement comes in two tiers, depending on how you want to show up:
🎯 Standard Edition: An ATS-optimized Word and PDF resume engineered to parse cleanly through applicant tracking systems while still reading as a strategic narrative. Built for application volume, recruiter outreach, and corporate hiring pipelines.
🎯 Signature Edition: A design-forward resume built in Canva, crafted for executives, consultants, and professionals who need their materials to make an impression in board rooms, networking introductions, speaking engagements, and high-touch interview processes. This is the version you hand to a hiring partner or post on your professional site.
Most clients invest in both. They use the Standard Edition for online applications and recruiter submissions, then deploy the Signature Edition for warm introductions and executive conversations.
FULL-SERVICE CAREER PARTNERSHIP
Resumes are the starting point. Most of my clients work with me across the full career branding ecosystem:
➼ Resume writing and strategic positioning
➼ Cover letters tailored to specific roles, industries, and decision-makers
➼ LinkedIn profile rewrites, including headline strategy, About sections, experience translation, and visual brand assets
➼ LinkedIn implementation guides and launch content for executives
➼ Reverse recruiting and job search strategy support
➼ Interview preparation, including STAR-method coaching and presentation development
➼ Career consulting for transitions, promotions, and pivots
➼ Executive bios, board profiles, and consulting one-pagers
If you're building toward something specific, a promotion, a pivot, a board seat, an exit from corporate into consulting, we'll architect the materials together as a system, not as one-off documents.
📝 Why Clients Choose To Work With Me 📝
A few things tend to come up in feedback:
✮ I write strategically, not generically. Every resume is built around the specific roles, industries, and decision-makers you're targeting. We don't pad with buzzwords or recycle templates.
✮ I bring practitioner perspective. Outside of Upwork, I work in career services, which means I see the hiring side of the equation regularly. I know what pulls a recruiter in and what gets a resume passed over in three seconds.
✮ I communicate clearly and move quickly. Most projects are completed within five to seven business days, with milestone check-ins and revision rounds built in. You'll always know where things stand.
✮ I treat your career like it matters. Because it does. The professionals I work with have spent decades building expertise. My job is to make sure the materials representing that expertise actually do it justice.
Who I Work Best With
✔ Executives and senior leaders preparing for board, advisory, or C-suite transitions
✔ Mid-career professionals targeting promotions, pivots, or strategic moves
✔ Specialists in technical, clinical, or regulated fields who need credibility translated for broader audiences
✔ Founders and consultants building executive presence on LinkedIn and beyond
✔ Professionals returning to the workforce after a break or career inflection point
If your target role is at the director level or above, or if your situation is genuinely complex (multi-industry background, equity transitions, return after a gap, international moves), I'm a strong fit.
📍 Let's Talk 📍
Send me a message with a few details about where you are, where you're headed, and what's making the search feel harder than it should. I'll respond with a clear recommendation on which deliverables fit your situation, an honest timeline, and a flat-rate quote.
No upsells. No template factories. Just strategic career materials built to move you forward.
