In 2019, I graduated with my Master of Science in Education, concentrating in Higher Education Administration, excited and ready to start my career. And like most new grads, I thought I had done everything right. I had the degree, the experience, and the drive, so I started applying.

I sent out my résumé to more than 60 roles across Higher Education and Corporate America. And then… nothing.

Out of all those applications, I only landed two interviews. I remember feeling confused, frustrated, and honestly a little discouraged. I kept asking myself, “What am I doing wrong?”

I reached out to institutions and mentors for feedback. I studied résumé writing. I learned how applicant tracking systems actually work. I began to understand that it wasn’t about being unqualified, it was about how my experience was being presented.

Once I revamped my résumé and approach, everything changed. I applied to 27 roles… and within two months, I received 19 interviews.

That moment showed me that so many talented, hardworking people aren’t overlooked because they lack skills; they’re overlooked because their story isn’t being told the right way on paper.

That realization is what led me here.

Today, I help professionals position themselves confidently and strategically so they can open doors, secure interviews, and truly level up in their careers.
