Hi, I'm Melissa.
I started out my career as a professional musician and music teacher. I loved it! Except… it wasn't sustainable, and it wasn't fulfilling my need to make a large-scale impact.
I knew I loved teaching. I loved working with students and being a part of their light bulb moments and forward progress. But I needed to apply those strengths in a different setting.
My own career change process took me 8 years. I got an expensive master's degree that left me with more debt than I'd like to admit and virtually no "real life" skills. I was a chronic job-hopper (20+ jobs before the age of 30!). And (not surprisingly)—I felt continually confused and frustrated.
Now, as a career coach, my mission is to help make sure YOU don't go through the same thing. I want to help you live out your most intentional, effective, and authentic job search.

When I finally landed in career coaching, my life completely changed. It was the first time I was able to apply my strengths and contribute to something in a way that felt truly valued.
As a career coach and learning designer, I use my unique strengths to gather the best information, simplify it, and package it into actionable, data-informed content that empowers professionals like you to move forward in their careers and achieve their goals.
Importantly, my success as a career coach isn't just because the job itself is so well-aligned. It's also because I found an environment where I'm truly appreciated for my unique strengths (and who I am!). This is what I want for YOU, too.
If you're feeling stuck, underappreciated, and burned out in your career... and you're ready to make a change, let's talk.
