Pathways Program brings in recently graduated MBA's and recently retired military and helps fast-track their career to high-level executives within Amazon. I provided guidance to Pathways to ensure their success. Additionally, I work with World Wide Operations leadership across North America to ensure that sites are complying with the requirements of the program and helping to fill business-critical needs with the best-fit leader. As a Talent Manager, I have helped create talent report card tools and an AI powered coaching tool.

During my professional career I have made the following transitions: bench science → higher education → philanthropy/nonprofit → consulting → tech world. Along this journey, I have been able to successfully figure out how to enter into career fields I was never “trained” to go into. And it is this knowledge and experiences that I want to share with others. No matter your current field I want to help guide and show you how your expertise is translatable into different fields. For my higher education colleagues, I know it is beaten into our head that if you leave academia you will be considered a failure. But the reality is that you can find careers outside of academia and still have an impact. I want to help you rewire the way you think about your career and help you realize that your career choices aren’t limited to one field. I’ll be providing 1x1 consultations, resume edits, CV to resume conversions, LinkedIn consultations, and I’ll be available for speaking engagements.
