Hi, I’m Kelsey!

I help motivated professionals gain a greater understanding of their unique skills and abilities to authentically create careers that bring about personal and professional fulfillment.

Why work with me?

I embrace imperfection and authenticity. There are no perfect people around here. You can bring your whole self to the process.

TLDR; I know what I’m doing.

I know the job market. I’ve been in workforce development and career coaching for over a decade. I know how to develop talent, I know what “top” companies are looking for, and I am an experienced coach. In fact, I’ve NEVER had a job where I wasn’t coaching in some capacity! Let me save you some time. I’ve read all the good career books and I have collaborated with 100s of recruiters from a myriad of industries to develop talent. I got you.

I’ve worked with high achievers with crystal clear visions. I’ve worked with discontented folks who need a change. I’ll be your guide but, perhaps most importantly, I will be invested in your success. You’re unlikely to meet a coach with as much passion and joy for my clients than me. We will make it happen together.

Testimonials

“I began working with Kelsey after nearly a decade with my company. I hadn’t updated my resume, or interviewed with another company during that time span, so to say I needed help was an understatement. Kelsey did more than help me craft multiple versions of my resume that allowed me to pursue multiple new career paths. She helped me to understand the process of finding opportunities and the actions needed to get to the interview stage. Once there, Kelsey helped me prepare and relieved the stress and anxiety. In working with Kelsey I was able to find a great opportunity, successfully interview, and accept an offer that me and my family are ecstatic about.”

“Kelsey went above and beyond to ensure I was prepared through every step of my job searching journey. She provided me with hands-on guidance and the professional development needed to launch a career in corporate finance at a Fortune 100 company. Kelsey is also very strategic and thoughtful when identifying opportunities that align with my career goals. I would highly recommend her!”
-Yasmin R.
“I reached out to Kelsey as someone changing careers, so I was almost completely unfamiliar with the process of networking, writing resumes (that are being vetted and searched by algorithms), and interviewing. She was available, approachable, and thorough. She gave expert advice on personalizing my resume for my particular context and for each position, and she helped me begin the unfamiliar process of networking and putting myself out there. The job hunt process was very different than when I began my career years ago, so her help was invaluable and I can happily say that I have since landed my dream job and am working in the field I have been working towards for years. I highly recommend reaching out to Kelsey--finding a job can be daunting and discouraging and having a career coach made a huge difference.”
-Daniel S.
“I was so impressed with Kelsey, her expertise, and her ability to take the history of my career and tell it in such an eloquent way. She helped me understand where the industry stood from a salary perspective, and gave me guidance and confidence to go for more than what I was currently being paid. She will be my go-to when it comes to figuring out my next career move for the rest of my career!” Jacqueline S.

“Kelsey does what I believe all people strive to do in their positions: excel in creating sincere human connections and be genuinely excited for other people’s success. She maintained an excellent balance of constructive yet kind feedback and was extremely attentive. It’s clear she is intentional with everything she does.”
