I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Education in Educational Counseling from the University of Southern California (USC). I have served as a career counselor at the Veteran Resource Center at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), California State University Maritime Academy, Texas A&M University at College Station, and the University of Houston at Sugarland. I volunteered as a career counselor at the Student Veteran Association at USC. I am also a former recruitment professional. I have held the positions of recruiter and recruiting coordinator in the legal, technology, healthcare, staffing, and hospitality industries.
Approach
Job hunting or contemplating a career change can feel overwhelming, especially if you are uncertain where your skills are valued in the marketplace. My personalized counseling and expert knowledge can help you to define and pursue a path to a career you will love. My exploration strategies, developed through my experience as both a recruiter and counselor, will identify and highlight your strengths to prospective employers and aid your quest to land a position right for you.
Strategy
My background in recruitment provides insight into the perspectives of potential employers. I am experienced in screening the resumes of job applicants, so I understand what determines whether you land an interview or your resume lands in the circular file. I offer expert assistance with every phase of the process, from screening job listings and preparing targeted resumes to handling interviews, evaluating job offers, and negotiating compensation. Whether you are a technology worker seeking to enter management, an attorney considering a lateral move, a recent graduate pursuing that first crucial position, or a newly discharged veteran making the transition to civilian employment, I can help you along the road to achieving your goal!
