Bio #1

A graduate of The University of Rochester (BA, Philosophy) and Queens College, City University of New York (MA, English), with doctoral level courses at CUNY’s Graduate Center in Rhetoric, I have worked at in financial services, telecomm and SaaS companies. I have recruited for positions in IT, legal, finance, sales, marketing, public relations, media, project management and customer service. A frequent writer and speaker on job search and networking skills, I draw on my global experience in advising a multi-cultural audience of millennial and mid-senior career professionals. Thanks to my experience in human resources, I know how employers think when recruiting and hiring talent. That’s why working with me will optimize your job search, whether you need career coaching services or an up-to-date resume. I’ve recruited and hired in the following fields: IT, legal, finance, sales, marketing, public relations, media, project management and customer service. Since beginning Rising Star Resumes, I’ve provided resume help that has gotten great results not only in the fields listed above, but in nursing, education, culinary arts, construction management, service professions, real estate and performing arts. I’ve also written resumes for entrepreneurs! Learn how I can jump start your job search by optimizing your resume and LinkedIn profile.

My articles on careers and job search strategies have been featured in LinkedIn Pulse, Quora, ReWork and TalentCulture blogs. I am also a member of The Wall Street Journal‘s Experts Panel.

For any form of written communication to be effective, the reader needs to immediately understand 2 things: why they are reading it, & what they need to do. Working with internal teams, we analyze whether existing communications achieve that goal. Then I demonstrate how everyone can modify their writing to achieve better communication.
