Not everyone has a linear career path – especially moms. But the way you tell your story makes all the difference. I have nearly ten years of experience helping job seekers frame their unique stories in a way that makes them appealing candidates for their target job.

And speaking of non-linear career trajectories…I went to Syracuse University for three years where I earned a degree in vocal performance and two business minors while working as a cocktail pianist; then I worked at a boutique marketing firm only to burn out and spend several months studying yoga in India. I returned to NJ because I had been texting this guy and wanted to see where it went (he’s now my husband!) and taught several yoga classes a week while also building my own marketing business. My husband and I also started a business selling specialized packaging materials, where I learned how to run a manufacturing operation, make large-scale materials purchases, cultivate relationships with corporate clients, and manage accounts receivable. To earn some extra income while building my marketing business, I started writing resumes for customers from LinkedIn, Monster, Indeed, and other prominent companies through a white-label service. I wrote thousands of resumes for customers at all career levels across a wide variety of industries, but my favorite type of work was helping individuals strategically frame their experience to facilitate a career shift.

In 2019, my son was born and in 2022, my daughter arrived. While chatting at the playground and during playdates, I realized how many mothers wanted to re-join the workforce but just didn’t know where to start – or how to address a years-long gap in their career history.

As much as I had enjoyed marketing, becoming a mother myself made me crave something with a more direct impact on people’s lives. So, yes – I’ll still write a resume for your just-out-of-college kid, or for your uncle – but my main focus is helping you, mama, get that interview.
