My diverse background and experience have yielded hundreds of people that I've been able to help, which is a great honor. I have worked most closely with those early in their careers, namely college students and young adults to build professional profiles on paper and/or online through resume and cover letter critiquing and building or using social networks. I have more recent experience working with people to overcome a variety of different barriers to employment they may face, be it mental or physical health concerns, criminal background, lacking basic skills or inexperience. Helping those making career transitions or those looking to advance their current careers, and providing career development workshops, presentations, and one-one career counseling are other areas of significance.

The variety of experience I've gained has produced informs this blog. I intend for it to serve as an introduction to information that I have found helpful or interesting, to my opinions on career related issues, and to other useful segments where people have messaged me with questions they would like to have addressed.
I’m looking forward to sharing insights and informational quick tips about things you may have thought of or may not have related to career development!
