Land the job you’re “not qualified” for—by telling the right story.
Most resumes are job descriptions. I'll help you mine your accomplishments, claim your identity, and stand out—on paper and in the room.

Why your resume isn’t working...YET
If your resume reads like a job posting, you’re blending in. Hiring managers aren’t looking for tasks—they’re looking for proof of value.
I’ll help you uncover and articulate that proof so your materials (and your confidence) finally match what you actually bring.
Boundaries = Identity.
We define who we are by what we allow and what we choose. your career story should do the same.
My signature method - This is what makes me different
The Resume Story Mining Process
We’ll extract 3–5 pivotal accomplishment stories—e.g., times you saved money, improved a process, took initiative, or went above and beyond. As you talk, I capture the skills, talents, and strengths you naturally demonstrate.
The Accomplishments Audit
We surface your distinctive competencies—the strengths that repeat across stories. These become the spine of your resume, the heart of your cover letters, and your “back-pocket” interview answers.
(Yes, we’ll align this to real roles. I’ll guide how to mirror a job posting’s needs without giving you a one-size-fits-no-one template.)
Why this works
This isn’t theory. It’s a repeatable process. Here's some of what I've done using these methods:
- Hired at Yale when 47 applied and 15 were interviewed—my resume & interview strategy carried the offer, even though I had no graduate degree and less "experience."
- Taught at Quinnipiac for 11 years—chosen over more “credentialed” candidates because my value was clear.
- Taught my first university- level course without a master’s—networking + positioning opened a door that the rules said should be closed.
