About

about me

My absolute favorite thing, in every role I’ve ever had, is to play a part in helping people become whoever they want to be. Supporting you as you develop confidence in interviewing is a recombination of everything I’ve ever done. As a former anxious interviewee, I’m here to give you the support I didn’t know I needed - to spare you the agony of unprepared interviewing and help you land just the right next job.

I am a lifelong design thinker and problem solver with degrees in art, psychology, women studies, and apparel design and human environment. My facilitative coaching and teaching experience includes writing, textile design, and business development - all of which involve effective communication to a specific audience.

For years, I hated interviewing for jobs, until finally it clicked; if they’re interviewing me, they believe I can do the job. I can’t guess what they will ask, but I can feel confident about answering any question because I am ready to effectively talk about myself in any context. I can treat the interview as a conversation between colleagues, and treat the questions as conversation prompts.

It took me 25+ years to get from interview avoidance to communication confidence, and I want to help you get there a whole lot sooner.

my goal for you

Greetings, interview avoider!

If you're like most people, you hate interviewing for jobs.

Maybe you're anxious about and dread interviewing.

Maybe you feel like you'll fumble along indefinitely, wondering with each interview if you did well or not.

You might feel like interviews are mysterious and secretive exams for which you cannot possibly prepare. Or you just want to feel like you are accurately and authentically expressing yourself in professional settings.

I get it - and I'm here to help!

If you aren't getting the results you want from the countless online listicles claiming to have THE definitive list of interview questions, if you're tired of trying to guess what you'll be asked, and if you are ready to reclaim agency in the interview process ... you've come to the right place.

Introducing my signature five-week interview preparation program, Avoidance to Authenticity: Interview with Confidence!

You’ll receive a customizable workbook to guide your journey, plus five 1:1 coaching sessions. Everything you experience with me will be unique, original material - zero AI will be involved.

Together, we'll help you develop:

Confidence interviewing; feeling that you're in control
A two-way relationship to interviewing; you're there to evaluate the company too!
Ability to use a rhetorical analysis framework to communicate effectively
Compelling 'packets' of information about yourself
Ability to reframe interviewer concerns (conscious/expressed or not)
Knowledge of the crucial point you're making - and ability to get there quickly

If you were able to effectively prepare for interviews using the countless articles and and listicles online, you would be!

what I want for you:

No more dread of the interview process
No more guessing what questions will be asked or memorizing 'right' answers
Calm and confidence about interviewing
Landing the job you really want sooner - and making more money sooner!

If this is resonating with you, you're probably a thoughtful, intentional person who is ready for your next opportunity to grow in your career - even if you're not quite comfortable telling other people that. I'm so glad to say ...

My programs are designed just for you!

Additionally, interview confidence also provides a cushion against the stress of the entire job hunt process.

You'll feel more excited about applying for jobs, you'll be able to highlight your transferable skills, and you'll have more to say in cover letters.

You'll feel calm and confident - perhaps even excited! - as you head into an interview, and leave feeling confident that you showed up effectively and authentically.

If what you are currently doing was working, you wouldn't be here!

When you are ready to commit to a structured and intense process of introspection, I would be delighted to meet you! Let's set up a free call to see if we're a good fit, answer any questions you might have, and get you on my calendar.
