My Passion is Designing Your Future

Hi!  I’m Lauren.  I am a marathon running, animal loving, world exploring career coach.  I have always loved running, animals, and traveling but I did not always see myself working in this profession.  The road that led me here was windy, rocky, and bumpy but that did not take away from the beauty of my journey.  

Over time my interest in career development theories, self-exploration strategies, and career design has allowed me to become a certified Myers-Briggs Practitioner, Career Services Professional, and Global Career Development Facilitator.  My education coupled with the experience I’ve gained from working in higher education and private practice has provided me with the ability to empathize with and appropriately guide my clients when they are feeling lost.  I feel very lucky to have a job that allows me to support job seekers, retirees, and “way-finders” every day. 

I specialize in working with professionals who are looking to make a change. So whether you are searching for a new job, daydreaming about new career, or struggling to design a meaningful retirement life, I hope knowing a little more about me will encourage you to reach out to see if we can work together.

Client Testimonials

Resume Coaching Client

“Working with Lauren is an absolute pleasure. She is a true professional and passionate about helping you figure out how to get the most out of your career. I initially reached out for consulting on my resume. However, Lauren was not only able to help me on my resume, she also opened my eyes on how I should be thinking about my career and actions I should be considering when I’m ready to take the next step. She’s a phenomenal resource for all career counseling needs such as recruiting, HR, resume building, job search, networking, and much more. I would gladly recommend Lauren to all my friends and colleagues who are looking to progress their professional careers.”

Easy-going, professional, and extremely helpful – great job, coach!

Resume Coaching Client

Lauren was a game changer after my resume consultation with her. I felt I was qualified to do the jobs I was applying for, but I wasn’t getting replies from companies. So I brought Lauren in to help refine my resume to improve its readability and competitiveness for getting through applicant tracking systems. After working with Lauren, I applied to 4 jobs and immediately was asked to do 3 interviews. I’m happy to say I accepted an amazing job offer with one of those companies. My money and time was well spent working with Lauren and would recommend her to any of my friends and colleagues who need a little help putting their best foot forward.”

Career Coaching Client

Working with Lauren during the typically draining and lengthy process of job hunting became enjoyable and a refreshing take on something that can be very mundane. The activities and tasks she assigned were relevant and drove me to increase my professional network while still being able to juggle my daily responsibilities. In the end, by learning to have more transparent conversation about my professional goals, my network has granted me many new options in my career.

Resume Coaching Client

“Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with. I hadn’t written a resume in over 10 years and she helped me understand the resume world that exists today, how to tailor my resume to each job description, and so much more. I was extremely impressed with the layout of her services, her organization and responsiveness, and most of all, her personable nature – too many resume services I reached out to were like communicating with a robot when Lauren felt like an old friend. I will be recommending her to all of my friends looking for employment!”

Interview Coaching Client

I initially hired Lauren to conduct a mock interview with me, as I began to question myself after a few rejections. She offered suggestions and constructive criticism and has really helped me regain my confidence amidst a difficult job search. She is extremely friendly, reassuring, makes herself very available, and is beyond accommodating. I will continue to use her services as needed without hesitation!
