Career Coaching

Your Trust & Safety Guide

  • Finding a job and building a career in trust and safety starts with your network. I will help you build an authentic community of people to help you succeed.

  • Your resume and LinkedIn are key tools to showcase your experience and skills. I will coach you on how to stand out and highlight your personal super power.

  • Practice is key to preparation and you shouldn’t rely on your interviewer to surface your best stories. I will guide you in crafting your story-telling and questions.

  • Too many people are afraid of asking for their worth when they receive an offer. Not you! I will give strategies and scripts to negotiate the best offer.

  • Career coaching doesn’t stop with an offer. I will be your trust and safety partner through business cases, exec meetings, and product trade-offs.

  • Sometimes you’re looking to navigate a change to a new industry. If breaking into Trust and Safety is your goal I’ll guide you through your personal Pivot Plan.

Why choose me?

I’ve worked in the tech industry for over a decade focusing on Trust and Safety. I’ve been a hiring manager and mentor for years and I’ve scaled teams from two people to over 30. I know what hiring managers look for and how you can stand out.

I also have a passion for helping people grow. I’ve volunteered and served as a mentor for MentorMatch and All Tech is Human and believe that the primary role of a leader is to help their team develop skills and grow as leaders in their own right.
