As Chief Career Officer, Certified Professional Resume Writer, Certified Career Management Coach, and career strategist, I am passionate about helping business leaders, executives and rising stars worldwide discover clarity. I personally team with each client to develop their career focus and zoom in on their direction using powerful execution strategies that showcase the impact of their achievements and results. I develop professional resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, and other career marketing tools. Formerly known as A Hire Image, Leading Edge Resumes & Career Services has been recognized globally and twice nominated as one of five professional resume writers in the Best Executive Resume category for the worldwide TORI Award - Toast of the Resume Industry.
Equipped with a degree in accounting, I launched my career working for the U.S. Government. Twelve years later, I transitioned to public education. I left education to turn my energy to working with senior executive clients (six-figure clients) and mid-management professionals, helping them to reach their dreams and become the architect of their life and not the victim of their career.
I play a key role in helping my clients connect with recruiters and Venture Capital (VC) and Private Equity (PE) firms with my quarterly updated databases. I email my client's resume to the right executive recruiter or VC / PE firm based on detailed criteria - industry, career target, and compensation requirements.
I am also available to companies needing outplacement / transition services due to layoffs, restructuring, and cutbacks. Over the years, I have worked with employers to provide their employees with resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profile development, distribution services, as well as coaching services on how to tackle a career campaign in today's job market.
I am active in the Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches, Career Management Alliance, Association of Job Search Trainers, National Resume Writers Association, and Career Directors International. Finally, I am a senior member on ExecuNet's resume writing and assessment team.
