What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver structured career readiness support, partner closely with employers and communities, and use data tracking to drive measurable placement outcomes and sustainable career growth for diverse learners.

I’m a career readiness and workforce development professional with 10+ years supporting students, adult learners, and job seekers through career planning, employability skills development, postsecondary exploration, job readiness, and employment pathway support. I focus on creating clear next steps, building trust with diverse learners, and developing organized career readiness processes that drive engagement, completion, placement, and long-term success.

In my roles, I’ve managed high-volume participant support—100+ participants on an active caseload and 300+ participants in a remote environment—while delivering coaching, resume development, interview preparation, and job search strategy. I’ve also facilitated 30+ workshops and workforce events, coordinated employer and community partnerships, tracked outcomes in internal systems, and driven strong placement results, including a 95% job placement rate and 25+ job placements per month.
