What I'm looking for

I’m looking to coach and guide people through career discovery with individualized support, mentoring, and well-organized program delivery—building a diverse, supportive environment where they can confidently reach their career goals.

I’m a career coach and education professional with a background in education, mentoring, and community outreach. I deliver programs that support self-discovery and career guidance, serving over 600 youth across multiple counties while building trust through strong relationship building and empathy.

I focus on individualized support and inclusive guidance, coordinating programs, analyzing needs, and managing confidential records to create a supportive environment. From coordinating 4-H programs to teaching job readiness and providing career coaching through mentoring and coaching strategies, I’m committed to empowering people to reach their career goals.
