Driver’s Ed for Careers
I teach the professional presence, soft skills, and networking strategy that turn credentials into careers
Advising emerging professionals to show up and stand out for the right reasons.
Searching for a job IS a job.
One that many graduates have never been taught the specific skills and strategies to navigate.
This can be a time of great uncertainty - sapping confidence and increasing anxiety during the opening of a new life chapter.
What I Teach
Strategic Communication
How to articulate value clearly in any context—from "tell me about yourself" to writing messages that actually get responses.
Strategic Networking & Visibility
How to build genuine professional relationships and create visibility so opportunities find them—not just the other way around.
But it's not just tactics: I also address the mental saboteurs (perfectionism, imposter syndrome, paralysis) that rear their heads during this incredibly uncertain transition when young people feel most powerless.
Career Self-Development
How to build self-awareness, seek feedback, and take ownership of growth trajectory instead of waiting for someone else to manage their career.
Professional Presence
How to show up with confidence and composure that inspires trust—body language, vocal presence, and energy that make people take you seriously.
Authentic Leadership
How to influence without authority, maintain composure under pressure, and project confidence without arrogance—even when they don't feel it yet.

This is Driver's Ed for launching a career.
You wouldn't hand a kid car keys and say "figure it out."
Yet that's exactly what happens with professional skills—young adults are expected to just know how to interview, network, and present themselves.
Let me be their first professional mentor. Someone they can trust to teach essential skills, provide real-world practice, and help them integrate learning in a safe environment before the stakes are real.
I am a Princeton graduate and the founder of True Self Presence Consulting. I'm coming full circle after starting my career working with young adults as a squash coach and teacher.
This work genuinely excites me.
