Winnipeg, Canada Area

I work with a diverse groups of clients ranging from new grads starting to build their career, to more mature clients exploring their mid-career transitions and “encore careers”. My work, based on my client's needs, includes career identity and personal branding, career exploration, transition planning, job search, resumes and cover letters, interview skills, networking and using LinkedIn. As a Certified Designing your Life Coach, I’m excited to support clients work through the Design Thinking Process based on the New York Bestseller, "Designing Your Life" and most recently "Designing Your Work Life". The framework is helpful for getting client's unstuck, reframing problems and exploring possibilities for the future. By applying the mindsets of a designer, clients can build a well-lived and joyful life, full of meaning and purpose.

Price Faculty Of Engineering, Co-Op/Iip Program

I provided coaching and support to current students within the faculty as it relates to their career and professional development skills. This work was facilitiated through seminars within required courses, individual coaching appointments, as well as through other events to educate and support students with regards to their employment and career goals. I developed and leveraged strong partnerships within industry, associations, sector councils and individual companies to raise awareness of the Engineering Co-op/IIP program. These relationships directly benefited students and the placements rates of students increased by over 70%. My ability to plan, manage and coordinate large scale events including the Engineering Reverse Career Fair ensured our students had opportunities to network and build connections with employers.

Delivered a graduate course to Engineering students called "Designing Your Career, An Engineering Approach" with two colleagues from the Price Faculty of Engineering. We were trained in a common methodology and approach by attending the Stanford Life Design Lab that focuses on using Design Thinking as a powerful career development framework.

Career Services

Working in a department that supported all faculties at the University of Manitoba, I provided students from diverse backgrounds with employment and career coaching in the areas of career planning and development, employment readiness, resume and cover letter development, networking and job search strategies. I assisted students in understanding their values, beliefs, interests, and skills and their importance in developing career options and ideas to explore. By developing a career planning framework, I encouraged students to act on their career ideas through gaining experiences on campus or in the community. This work has direct impact and helped students to identify and articulate their skills and identify opportunities to build skills to meet their career and employment goals.
