It's Time to Relaunch Your Career!

Hi relaunchers! I am excited to have the opportunity to provide resume consulting services and help you present yourself with confidence, impact, and authenticity.

In my 30+ years as a career counselor, I have worked with countless relaunchers in a range of industries. As a former relauncher myself, I understand the challenge of writing a resume that reflects your potential value to an employer, especially when you are preparing to return to the workplace after a hiatus.

I offer three levels of resume assistance:

1. A written critique of your current resume. You send me a Word doc version, and I can make suggested revisions directly to the resume using Track Changes.
2. A Zoom session to discuss your resume. You send your resume, and we can use screen share to discuss suggested revisions.
3. I can write or rewrite your resume.

Here are some of my credentials:

• Master of Education degree in Counseling Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University
• New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor
• Board Certified National Certified Counselor and Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider
• Experienced distance counselor, trainer and author
• Team Leader and Career Consultant for REA, providing career and acclimation services to accompanying partners of relocating employees, including international clients
• Career Coach for TheMuse.com Coach Connect
• Coordinator of Communications for Career Development Specialists Network
• Member, American Counseling Association, National Career Development Association, and Middle Atlantic Career Counseling Association

As a lifelong bookworm – and the daughter of an English teacher – I understand the power of the written word. As a career professional, I understand the importance of presenting yourself as a uniquely talented individual with skills and experience to offer the right employer. I look forward to assisting you!

I’m delighted to be part of the IRelaunch community. Over the last decade, I’ve had the privilege of coaching dozens of relaunchers and I’m always thrilled to see them step back into the workplace with renewed confidence.

I believe we are all works in progress and that each one of us is meant to continue growing and stretching ourselves, personally and professionally. I founded Bright Evolution Leadership Coaching, LLC with the goal of helping my clients evolve into the next, better version of themselves. In my work with relaunchers, I have guided my clients to be intentional about their return-to-work strategy and to be authentic to who they are – coaching them to own their professional path and their career break.

For the last 20 years, I’ve worked with MBA students and business leaders from all industries and sectors, from startups to Fortune 500 companies. I’ve worked at three graduate schools of business and spent the last 15 years at the MIT Sloan School of Management, most recently serving as the Director of Alumni Career Services. In this role, I coached over 2,000 business students and executives (including relaunchers), helping them successfully navigate leadership challenges and critical transition points in their careers.

In addition to my private coaching practice, I am honored to teach as a Fellow with the Simmons University Institute for Inclusive Leadership and coach on career platforms The Muse and Landit. I am a recommended Executive Coach at MIT, Columbia Business School and Stanford GSB.

My Education and Certifications include:

• B.A. in Journalism & Communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

• Ed.M from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education

• Executive Coach (CPCC) through the Co-Active Training Institute

• PCC with the International Coaching Federation

• Assessments: Certification in Gallup Clifton Strengths, MBTI, and Positive Intelligence
