Growing your career shouldn’t feel like guessing…
I’ve helped dozens of students and professionals navigate career pivots, sharpen their storytelling, master interviews, and gain influence in meetings. I’ve taught technical design in Figma, run AI and design workshops, am a seasoned speaker, and have guided individuals through building portfolios and personal brands.
I know firsthand how easy it is to feel stuck when building out your career in tech. I’m here to provide support, clarity, guidance, and encouragement for those who are ready to chase their goals.
I’m here to help you move forward with strategy and purpose.

FAQ
-
I mentor and coach individuals at every stage of their careers — from those just starting out to senior professionals. Many of my students are mid-level professionals with 5–10 years of experience who are looking to define their direction, grow in their roles, or step into leadership. Others are career changers who’ve discovered a passion for tech and want guidance from someone who’s navigated the industry firsthand. The final group I work with includes individuals seeking design consultation, portfolio feedback, and support building their personal brand or website.

Once you book your session, you’ll find a link to a Google form in your Calendly invite. Please complete the form at least 24 hours before our session so I have a clear understanding of your goals and can tailor our time together to what matters to you most.

Each session is for 60 minutes, aside from the introductory call which is 45 minutes.

Yes of course! Your sessions are personalized, so we can cover as many relevant areas as time allows. You’ll receive a lesson agenda before each session to ensure we stay on track and cover the key discussion points for that day. For deeper dives into multiple topics, I recommend the 3, 5, or 10 session mentorship plan.

If you finish a 3 or 5 session plan and realize you’d like to keep learning, you can add one or more additional session(s) at the same per-session rate as your original plan. The only requirement is that these sessions are booked and paid for within one month of completing your original multi-session plan. Sessions booked after this one-month window will be subject to the standard session package rates listed above.
***Please note: additional one-off sessions do not extend the one-month timeframe of the original multi-session plan.
-
Any additional sessions will honor the same per-session rate that the 10 session plan offers.
