Due to the sensitive nature of many of my engagements and my strict adherence to confidentiality, names have been withheld for most of these testimonials; however references are available upon request.
Engineering Training Manager, Technology Industry
"Andrea is a great career coach. Andrea helped me walk through the process of self-discovery, determining what types of work make me happy, identifying companies that would have the types of work I would want to do, how to increase and leverage my network, how to successfully pass those pesky interviews, and how to negotiate my job offer. She was available every step of the way to help with my success. She didn’t do the work, but helped me follow the correct paths to figure things out for myself. And it worked. I start an exciting new job in a few weeks, thanks to Andrea. Congrats on helping another person achieve their dreams!

"Andrea's support and professional coaching was priceless during a difficult career transition time. She always cheered me up with positive examples and gave me advice that was right on time and to the point! She was also comfortable giving constructive feedback without making me feeling more frustrated, so that I could clearly see the holes and make the right improvement! I always found myself getting better after talking to her. I can't say enough of thanks to her. I received a great offer from Facebook and Andrea played a big part for it!

Senior Marketing Manager, Travel Industry
"Andrea helped me through a difficult career transition when I was laid off at Microsoft. She prepared me for a detailed job search through resume coaching and LinkedIn profile tips. Her encouragement and dedication helped me stay focused, positive, and ultimately land a role that is perfect for me. She's a rock star and I would recommend her to anyone who's looking to make a career move and needs help managing the transition and the emotional rollercoaster that can sometimes come along with it."
Senior Corporate Counsel, Entertainment Industry
"Andrea worked with me through a career transition and provided very valuable information that helped me perform better in interviews. More than that, though, she was an always-available sounding board. No question about the career transition process was too small for her to give her attention to, and Andrea definitely made everything easier and made me more successful".
