career coaching

There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to a job search. In our sessions, we’ll create space to re-imagine your career goals, develop a plan for how you can achieve them, and align on which services best fit your needs. We’ll uncover what skills you have, what your passions are, and how you can tell your story to future employers.

Hi, I’m Karly! Think of me as your personal career concierge - a one-stop-shop for all things “real life”. From helping you make meaningful contacts, perfecting your resume, or preparing you for that tough conversation with your manager, I will be with you every step of the way to ensure that you show up as your best self.

I have spent more than a decade in the corporate world, working in recruiting and communications for companies like Google, Citigroup, and Mastercard. Through these experiences, I have developed an understanding of how to navigate the highs and lows of being a young professional who is just trying to figure it all out.

My approach is collaborative - I’ll spend time getting to know you, learning more about your goals, and working with you to create a customized plan on how we can achieve them together.
