Six and a half years ago, I started résumé writing as a side gig.

While still in Tech, I met with clients daily, honed my craft, and built a collaborative process that worked.

I didn't need the money; I just loved writing.

As I still do, I loved helping with the difficult job of translating wins onto paper. There’s nothing like watching someone’s confidence return after they see their story reflected back at them.

Fast forward to today: I run a thriving résumé writing and career coaching practice that helps people navigate transitions with clarity and confidence.

I set my own hours, can work from anywhere, and, while my boss can overthink at times, we have an exceptional working relationship. 😉

It was a slow burn. I stayed in the corporate world for two years before deciding, after my final layoff, that I was done with the race.

Turns out, I’m not alone, and it’s reshaping what leadership and the modern workplace really look like. 👀

From a college band to crossing continents for one another, this decades-long friendship is built on showing up through every season—including a breast cancer journey. It’s a reminder that real connection isn’t just part of life—it’s what sustains us, personally and professionally.

Thirty women, a little structure, a little chaos, and a lot of real conversation. This networking event made it easy to skip the small talk and build genuine connections quickly—reminding us that networking, when done right, feels less like work and more like community.

“Be open like a lotus flower.” 🪷

That’s what I tell my clients who are wading through big career shifts — whether they’re pivoting industries, re-entering the workforce after caregiving, or finding their footing post-layoff.

With intentional career shifts on the rise, openness is everything. Openness to learning, to new opportunities, to talking about the skills you already have and the value you bring.

Here’s how to bloom where you’re planted, while you prepare for what’s next. 🌻

tl;dr: Hiring a professional résumé writer can cut down your search by over 30%. That means more interviews, less ghosting, and back to a paycheck sooner.
