I know firsthand what it’s like to navigate change in a career. My journey has been defined by bold moves — across companies, industries, and roles — all while redefining what a meaningful career looks like to me.

From Advertising to Tech

I began my corporate career in advertising, but after suffering burnout of 14-hour work days and lacking growth, I leaned into my curiosity - which pointed me toward tech. I wanted to be on the cusp of change and in an environment where I was challenged to learn every day.

By articulating my transferable skills and being strategic in maximizing my network, I landed a role at Salesforce, a global tech company, where I’ve continued to work the last 10 years. My first role at the company was focused on supporting customers adopt our advertising technology products. This career move taught me to trust my gut and to practice patience for the right role. It took me 6 months to get the job offer but I’ve been able to build a successful career at the company ever since.

From Professional Services to Customer Success

The four roles I held the first six years of my Salesforce career resided in our Professional Services org. I moved to Customer Success when I decided to seek out more opportunities to expand my leadership skills, build my advisory expertise, and influence C-suite executives. By maintaining a strong relationship with a former manager, I secured a strategic Success Manager role that aligned with those aspirations. This move reminded me how critical it is to nurture professional connections long before you need them.

From Setbacks to New Opportunities

Sometimes, career moves choose you. When my team at Salesforce dissolved, my team was moved to a different part of the organization that did not align with my career goals. I decided to take ownership of my career and look elsewhere at the company. I tapped into my network, upskilled, and secured a stretch role as a Marketing Cloud Success Manager. I was completely out of my element, but I expanded my product expertise from advertising to marketing technology and established a strong personal brand within my organization. This intentional move reinforced that even when the unexpected happens, you still have a choice of how you respond. And, the unexpected can turn out pretty great, even if it doesn’t feel that way at the time.

From Marketing to Employee Engagement

Building my business reinforced my passion for helping others thrive in their careers. This realization led me to pivot from customer-facing work to seeking a more HR-type role so I could infuse that passion into my corporate job. By voicing my aspirations, taking on new projects, and showcasing my value, I transitioned into employee engagement leading employee programs within our Customer Success org. This career move was a journey of persistence, taking over 1.5 years, but the result has been deeply fulfilling!

From Career Growth to Career Fulfillment

Becoming a parent in late 2023 changed my outlook on career success. It taught me to prioritize fulfillment, flexibility, and alignment with my values over titles and promotions. Growth now means building a meaningful, balanced life — not just climbing the corporate ladder.

Every career move I’ve made has brought me closer to the work that excites me and the life I want to lead. Through coaching, resume writing, and speaking, I’m here to help high achievers like you make your own meaningful career moves by creating clarity, confidence, and a path toward fulfillment.
