My Story

​

I know what it feels like to be successful on paper but also stuck inside. I found myself in a role that no longer fit me, but I was afraid to leave because of the financial security it provided. I had to figure out my next path while still doing a job that no longer inspired me, and it was exhausting.
Working with a career coach changed everything. I was able to identify my strengths, discover what truly mattered to me, and find the clarity I desperately needed. That experience taught me that when your energy is consumed by one thing but your heart is building something new, having the right support makes all the difference.

My Expertise

As a Certified Career Management Coach (CCMC) with 14+ years as an agency recruiter, I bring both sides of the career equation to my work with you. I understand what makes candidates stand out to employers because I spent years identifying the qualities that get people noticed and moved forward in the hiring process. I also know firsthand the challenges that come with career transitions because I've been there myself.
My years working with candidates and companies across industries taught me what really works in job searches, career transitions, and professional advancement. But my personal experience taught me something equally important: how overwhelming and uncertain it can feel when you know you need a change but don't know where to start.

Why I Do This Work

I moved to Raleigh, NC with my husband and son in 2019 and started Your Career Happiness because I'm passionate about helping people find work that truly fits them. I believe everyone deserves to feel energized by their career, not drained by it.
When I'm not coaching, you'll find me at pilates, taking walks with friends, cheering on Indiana Basketball and the Pittsburgh Steelers, or exploring new places with my family.
