Helping analytically-inclined people figure out the human side of leadership.
You’re great at what you do. Leading and working with real humans is totally different.
What do you need?
I’m in a new role
Navigating new people, expectations, tools, and culture all at once? New to leadership? Feeling overwhelmed and afraid to fail?
I will help you create a plan for early impact, where to focus your energy, and how to maintain confidence and calm.
I’m looking for my next move
Overwhelmed by a saturated market? Or are you thinking about something entirely different?
We will work through a 3-step plan to figure out what’s next for you, based on your skills, passions, and the market fit.
I want to do “good” work
Driven to help others? Feeling like giving back to your community, but can’t fit it in with your busy career?
Let’s talk about making space to do good, or pivoting entirely to mission-driven work.
I need help getting un-stuck
Stuck in a low-growth or low-passion situation? Is there a culture mismatch? Or some other reason for the blahs?
I’m here to help figure out what is going on, how to make meaningful changes to get you where you want to be.
About me
When I gave notice at my last full time corporate job, I was leading a team of 30+ researchers. I sent an email to hundreds more across the company, offering to do 1:1 mentoring sessions before I left. I loved it.
So as I’ve pivoted into my own portfolio / non-traditional career, I realized I wanted to keep helping people with their own careers, traditional or otherwise. I specialize in people who lean analytical, trying to navigate the human aspects of their careers. I’m also here for people pivoting in their careers. I’ve done this a few times myself.
I’ve worked at Google and Microsoft, studying people via UX research and leading teams. My PhD research at Stanford explored how people learn to work and play together online.
I’ve worked in hardware, software, video games, EdTech, and academia. My clients have been engineers, designers, researchers, physicians and more. I am a certified career coach.
