Over 130 passionate powerhouses have worked with me to design careers they love
“I landed a job that checks every box and I uncovered parts of myself that had been buried.”
—Teacher to Executive Assistant
“I’ve created a life that feels sustainable, aligned, and truly mine.”
—Senior Engineer

“I would recommend Grace as a career coach to anyone.
She’s taught me to think much more flexibly about work and to break out of the boxes we put ourselves in. I defined my values for the first time, learned to tease apart what makes a job light me up, and think creatively about how I could recombine those. I’ve explored roles I would have never thought to apply to, and the world seems more full of possibility than before.
It's not easy to feel like you're the one with the power in the job market, but Grace always makes me feel like I'm in control of my destiny and can ask for what I want. And she's excellent with the micro-level details too, like how to phrase things or break tasks down into manageable steps. I always leave our conversations feeling calm and powerful.
I landed an amazing role (at a higher salary than I expected) and confidently accepted the offer, because I’d done the work to define exactly what I was looking for.”
—Eva Parish, Engineer & Writer“The past few months felt like a revelation.
“Before working together, I was in the classic ‘should I stay or should I go’ conundrum, with a nagging feeling I wasn’t in the right place and a familiar pattern of landing a dream role only to burn out quickly.
The past few months felt like a revelation, especially putting my values down on paper and checking my choices against them. I’ve built more sustainable practices, learned how to take a beat and reset, and made more time for the things that matter to me - in and outside the work.
Most importantly, I got off the fence and found a new role I can actually run toward, one that maps to my values and lets me explore one of my ‘alternative lives.’
The most valuable part was the mix of deep reflection and concrete tactics, from clarifying my core values and exploring alternative lives to practicing specific strategies for hard conversations so I could break patterns and build a real toolkit.
I was surprised by how quickly the walls I put up fell away, and how grounded, expansive, and confident I feel about what I actually want now.”
—Barbara Cvenic, Chief of Staff, Change.org“I knew I wanted a change, but had no idea what.
“After a long time in the same job, I knew I wanted a change, but I had no idea what I wanted to do.
I chose to work with Grace both because her vibe and messaging resonated with me*, and also because she offered a structured program that I knew I needed. As someone who's constantly planning/strategizing/holding others accountable, I really appreciated being able to give up some of that cognitive load to someone else who knows what they're doing.
A few things that stood out about Grace's approach: She is an exceptional listener, and helped put into words things that I valued that I didn't even realize. She likes to give concepts catchy names, which is very helpful in making them stick. She also helped me work through multiple time horizons at once -- immediate next steps, short/medium term job-search steps, and longer-term things I can work on to make work more sustainable. And of course, she brings a joyful/holistic energy while also being a sharp operator who understands the ins and outs of [tech/work].
Looking back, it's hard to point to any one session or thing we discussed that made all the difference, but that net effect was that I got the outcome I wanted: I got clarity on a new career path that seemed like a good fit, found a role via networking that was better than I could have even imagined / than anything I saw posted, and am now in a role that's energizing and makes me excited to show up every day. The investment was more than worth it, because I also substantially increased my income as a result of the move. I'm now a coaching evangelist -- I didn't really understand what coaching was for at first, but now I see that it can help you get unstuck, harness your own energy more effectively, and make small, unintimidating moves that lead to huge positive changes.”
—Stephanie W.“I now have much more confidence in my abilities and clarity around what I want.”
—Marketing & Communications
“I landed a job I genuinely enjoy, where I feel fulfilled and motivated every day.”
—Leader at IBM
“Grace was an invaluable guide during a major transition in my career.”
—Strategy & Operations Leader
“The best investment I’ve made for my career.
“The best investment I’ve made for my career. I was feeling kind of a bit burned out and a little frustrated with not really knowing where I wanted to take my career goals. I felt like I really needed a boost, some sort of guidance and a strategy. Choosing Grace was definitely a no-brainer. At first I was a bit nervous because I’ve never really worked with a career coach in the past. I felt really comfortable working with Grace. We dug deep and really clarified my mission, or as we call it, my ‘why.’ Every decision I’ve made has been grounded in the same mission, which has given me the confidence to move forward. I’m feeling great. So thankful for all of the wide array of tools that Grace was able to provide. It has made a huge difference in my career growth ever since.”
—Daniel Perez-Gomez, Engineer & Educator“Grace helped me find the confidence to make a career pivot. I went in not sure what I wanted to do, and with Grace’s help we were able to identify a list of values that felt really important to guide me in this next step. She also helped me realize what my worth is, and at every step when I felt frustrated or beat down, she reminded me: this is who you are, this is what you’ve done, and this is what you deserve. With Grace’s help I was able to apply to jobs I wouldn’t have had the guts to apply to. Grace not only kept me accountable, but she also showed up with kindness and patience and really let me be vulnerable without judgment.” Anita left her full-time job to go all in on her florist business in 2024.
—Anita Shriver, Project Manager turned Founder at Floral Baby
“I feel I have so much clarity and agency over my career.
Before coaching, I wasn’t sure if my organization valued me. I was burnt out from trying to meet an expectation of perfection and unreasonable deadlines, and I felt drained and low on confidence.
Since we started working together, I’ve enforced strict boundaries on my workday and no longer tie my personal value to my work performance. I’m back to feeling like my accomplishments are noteworthy, not something to be swept under the rug or downplayed. I was surprised by how comfortable I became with confrontation and bringing up conversations about a promotion.
I also have a better understanding of the deeper why behind what drives me, and now have something tangible to align my experiences to. I’ll admit I didn’t think I’d make the progress I did at the start—but having embraced the methodology, I gained far more clarity and agency than I expected.”
—Audra Stafursky, Software Engineer“Before working with Grace, my job felt like a drag. Full of politicking and people management instead of interesting, challenging work.
Through our coaching, I’ve gained real confidence in my options. When I decide to make a change, I know I will do it with clarity and conviction. I’ve also taken a hard look at my current role and compared it to real ‘Option B’ and ‘Option C’ opportunities, which helped me see things more objectively and fairly.
Grace was a great accountability partner, helping me stay on top of the work I tended to avoid and gently steering me back to what really matters (like pointing out when a shiny new opportunity was just a distraction). She is a real empath who also likes to get stuff done.”
—Business Development Exec in Tech“Before working with Grace, I felt stuck and trapped. I dreaded every morning and every meeting, feeling defeated and as if I had nowhere to go. Through our work together, I’ve created a life that feels sustainable, aligned, and truly mine.
Now, I’m building a life that feels wild & free. I'm launching my own Creative Technology business while continuing to thrive in my current role with a healthier perspective. I've also reconnected with what makes me feel most alive: creating spaces for women to connect in person through women's circles and meaningful shared experiences.
Grace’s support and compassion were invaluable. From Day 1, she made me feel comfortable and reminded me of my values and desires whenever I doubted myself.”
— Kristyn, Senior EngineerJessica Van Dyke
“Before working with Grace, my career looked a lot different than a standard career. I was a stay-at-home mom. My days were filled with motherhood tasks, and while I knew that work was important, I couldn’t shake the longing that there was something else out there for me beyond teaching and parenting. I just wasn’t sure what that looked like. That ‘knowing gap’ is what led me to career coaching.
Now, I’ve landed a job as an Executive Assistant at a luxury interior design firm that checks every box I identified as non-negotiable. It cultivates simplicity, flexibility, novelty, and growth while supporting my health and family life. It’s been such a positive, stress-free experience, and I finally feel balance and fulfillment in both work and home.
The most valuable part of coaching was creating clarity around what qualities matter most to me. I now have a framework to make sure every career decision aligns with my values—something that feels invaluable as a recovering people-pleaser. What surprised me most was how deeply rooted the process was in values and self-knowing. It felt like I uncovered parts of myself that had been buried for a long time.”

Lauren Glover
“Before working with Grace, I felt stuck and very unsure of how to move forward in my career, disconnected from my strengths and not confident I could move in a direction that felt holistically good and aligned with my passions and work life priorities.
I feel SO different, in the best way.
Since career coaching, I have been able to unapologetically define my values and prioritize what is most important to me. I now have much more confidence in my abilities, much more clarity and certainty around what I want out of my career and life, and I have built a larger network of values aligned people I can turn to on my career journey.
The most valuable part of the experience was how Grace instilled both action and confidence in our conversations, helping me do meaningful soul searching while also encouraging me not to wait to take action and showing me that I am closer to what I want than I previously realized.
My goal is not to land a dream job, but to build a dream life.”
—Lauren Glover, Marketing & Comms Expert & NYC Arts Aficionado
“I had quit my job and was feeling directionless. I didn’t know where to begin in terms of understanding what I wanted to leave behind, take with me, or prioritize for a new career or working life and felt overwhelmed. Since we started working together, I feel better and have gained so much more confidence in myself. I felt supported in taking the time to understand myself and my values, and enjoyed having tangible next steps. Now, I understand my strengths from my past and how to use and package them for future opportunities. I have a clear vision of my next career step—and a life that brings me fulfillment (not just a job).”
—Patty, Education Leader

Whether brainstorming strategies rooted in self-awareness or grounding me with an uplifting reminder of my worth, Grace helped me gain more clarity and confidence to move my career forward. I not only achieved tangible results like stronger and more compelling application materials, but also found the motivation and focus to pursue my job search strategically, enabling me to craft an authentic, cohesive narrative for networking and interviews. For anyone navigating career change or seeking a better understanding of their 'why', I can't recommend Grace highly enough for her empowering, flexible, and compassionate approach."

“Working with Grace is akin to career therapy. We were really building out a toolkit so that I could understand how I am getting in my own way, what is my true north, and what lights me up the most. Those conversations were completely invaluable, not just as a person looking for a job, but as a human being in general. Regardless of how many clients she’s working with, it always feels like you’re her top priority, and she’s genuinely supportive and encouraging. I really can’t thank Grace enough.”
—Keith Newman, Engineer & Artist“Work can feel heavy and changing your career can feel doomish even. Grace brings an energy of play, and it helps take the pressure off. I have much healthier work boundaries, so many more tools to navigate the stress, and a plan and timeline for what’s next. That’s supported not only my work space, but my home life is more taken care of and nurtured.”
—Jess Brand, Learning & Development; Corporate Trainer“Working with Grace has been a game-changer! I came to her feeling stuck in my current role, unsure of how to explore internal mobility or broaden my career vision. Grace not only helped me see the bigger picture but gave me the tools to take action. Through our work together, I was able to shift from feeling trapped in my day-to-day to actively seeking new opportunities within my company. Her guidance made me realize that I was limiting my own potential, and now I’m confidently exploring career paths I never thought possible. If you're ready to unlock new possibilities and take control of your career, I can’t recommend Grace enough!”
—Design Program Manager at Meta“Working with Grace was a game-changer. She helped me uncover my core values and see myself in a new light, which completely transformed how I approached my job search. Through our sessions, I challenged my limiting beliefs, recognized my strengths, and gained the confidence to shine in interviews. Thanks to her guidance, I landed a job I genuinely enjoy, where I feel fulfilled and motivated every day. I also loved that our conversations allowed me to bring my whole self and be truly seen, not just focusing on the obvious aspects of work. I don’t think I could have navigated the applications and interviews without her support.
—Leader at IBM“I am so glad I decided to listen to my inner voice and reached out to Grace! Her help and support really gave me the lift I needed during one of the toughest periods of my career. She knows what success looks like, gives a sh*t, had my back, but delivered with genuity, wit, and candidacy. I got the dream job (at higher comp than I was expecting).”
—Creative Director at Fortune 500 company“Our conversations were truly a pivot point for me to get my priorities in order and find the courage to invest in my creative goals. Grace’s thoughtful questions and empowering insights gave me really impactful things to think about, and I’m so grateful now to be on this path forward, pursuing a career that feels exciting, purposeful, and right for me.”

She is a compassionate listener and has the extraordinary ability to make the overwhelming feel conquerable. Grace's support and guidance has changed how I think about my relationship to work. She has helped me to quiet my self-limiting beliefs, to identify my values, and to create an action plan around my job search. She is the cheerleader I never knew I needed, and I am grateful to have her in my corner.”
—Marina Caputo, Technical Event Manager
“Grace is a force! I can't recommend her enough. I worked with Grace through a career transition, and she helped me immensely with my resume and cover letter. She illuminated areas for improvement and gave fantastic feedback while also reminding me to structure my application to emphasize the results I've delivered on previous projects. She will be your biggest cheerleader, and make you feel like a superstar, all while showing you how to design a career you love.”
—Lucy Cullen, Business Coach & Consultant
“After feeling stuck in a box for years, feeling weighed down and suffocated by work, I sought someone that would help pull me back above water. My work with Grace has helped me to feel lighter, more in control of myself, my boundaries, and my actions, has helped me to find my creative side again. And, most importantly, I’ve realized what my marketable skills are and how I can use them to live the life I want to live.”
—Megan Glassman, Event Producer & Interior Designer“Working with Grace was a pleasure. She guided me to clarity and confidence while providing insight that demonstrates her experience and talent as a career coach. She helped me better understand my goals and values, plus provided me with a roadmap and compass for my job search, with a level of detail I hoped to achieve but did not think was possible. I am entering my job search filled with excitement rather than dread, and I owe that to Grace!”
—Lawyer at Nonprofit“I spoke to someone about our session afterwards and remarked at how much just 30 minutes of coaching gave me confidence and clarity about moving forward towards my dreams.”
—Operations & Strategy Leader in Education“I feel a bit like a new me. I was coasting and now I'm trying new things and getting back to a higher performing self.

I’m excited and energized due to these sessions, and that was not the case at the start.”
—Senior Engineer & Architect at Microsoft“Grace has a fantastic presence and knack for making people feel comfortable. She’s attentive, inquisitive, and shows genuine care for us and our journey.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with Grace and would recommend her as your first stop when deciding to make a career change.”
—Wade, Sales Program Manager
“I’d recommend Grace to anyone looking for a coach who has the potential to change their life.

It was like entering a safe space where nothing you said will be judged and you have the space and support to unpack your own beliefs and experiences. I unlocked new ways of approaching how I think and work.”
