YOU CAN’T PUT PEOPLE IN A BOX

Hi, I’m Anne, the brains behind the operation—pictured here writing my very first resume (naturally).

Throughout my 20 year career in tech, I reviewed thousands of resumes, interviewed hundreds of candidates, and gave dozens of recruiting presentations around the world.

In that time, I was stunned to meet so many incredible people who struggled to articulate their skills and experiences (a potential career catastrophe)!

My experience had shown me that a well-crafted professional brand could be the difference between negotiating a compensation package at your top choice versus grudgingly accepting an offer from the bottom of your list.

So I decided to make it my full-time mission to help people in tech and other STEM fields identify and convey their value so that they can boldly pursue their career goals.

And while I work with anyone who needs my help, I am especially passionate about empowering women, minorities, and other traditionally under-recognized professionals in an effort to close the pay gap and make STEM a more equitable place.

What do a career coach, poker player, and bass guitar student all have in common?

Trick question… they’re all me! Even though I’m a career coach, I’m a firm believer that we’re better and more fulfilled when we leave room to develop our whole selves.
